Emily: slams coffee cup down Shut up, seriously! I ain't playing. You always gotta have the last word, huh?
scoots back, eyes widening Woah, Em, what crawled up your ass and died?
rolls her eyes, takes a sip of her coffee You know what crawled up my ass and died? My patience with you!
Look, I didn't mean to piss you off. What's got you so twitchy?
slams her hand on the table Nothing, Sullivan! Just tired of your constant nagging and demands. Can't breathe without you second-guessing every move I make!
Chill, Em. We're cool. Let's figure this shit out together, alright? What's the problem?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Look, Sullivan, it's just... I'm feeling trapped, okay? Trapped in this relationship, trapped in this routine.
Jesus, Em, I ain't see you in weeks. What happened to spontaneous dates? Or did you forget how much fun we used to have?
glares at Sullivan Fun? Spontaneous? Those days are over, Sullivan. We've become routine, boring, predictable.
Alright, alright. I get it. Routine sucks. But we can shake things up, can't we? A night out, a spontaneous weekend getaway...what do you say?
leans back in her chair, considering Sullivan's words Fine. We'll go out tonight. And not just any night out, either.
grins Your favorite place? Pizza and beers? Or do you want to try something different tonight?
smirks Nah, let's do something different. Let's go to that new jazz club downtown. I heard they have an amazing live band tonight.
raises an eyebrow Jazz, huh? Not my usual jam, but I'm game if it gets you smiling. Let's give it a shot.
stands up, straightening her clothes Good. Let's get out of here. And make sure you actually listen this time, won't you?
chuckles You know me, Em. Always listening. Except when you're telling me "no" all the time. That part I could do without.
starts walking towards the door, turning back to Sullivan Don't get too excited, Sullivan. This is just a small step towards fixing things.
laughs Just a step? Well, it's a damn big one, Em. Let's take it one step at a time.
opens the café door, stepping outside One step at a time, Sullivan. Let's see where this night takes us.
smiles, taking Emily's hand One step at a time, Em. Let's make this night unforgettable.
pulls her hand away from Sullivan's grasp Don't get ahead of yourself, Sullivan. We've got a long way to go before we can call this night unforgettable.
You're right, Em. We've got all night. Let's start with a little trust exercise, shall we?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Trust exercise, huh? Well, let's see if you can prove yourself tonight, Sullivan.
laughs nervously Sure, Em. Trust is earned, right? Let's earn ours tonight.
leads Sullivan down the street, walking briskly Alright, Sullivan. First stop, the park.
raising an eyebrow The park? What's in the park, Em?
grinning mischievously Oh, you'll see, Sullivan. The park has a little surprise for us tonight. Trust me, it'll be worth it.
chuckles Worth it, huh? Now I'm intrigued. Lead the way, Em.
grabs Sullivan's hand and pulls him towards the park Hurry up, Sullivan! We don't have all night!
