Evelyn: whispering Have you seen my sketchbook? It's missing again! What will I do without it?
Are you referring to that sketchbook that holds your true feelings and dreams? It's quite intriguing to find out what you truly want to express and accomplish. Perhaps I could help you find it?
Oh my gosh, thank you so much! It's in my room, on the bookshelf by the window. Could you maybe check it out and see if it's there?
No problem. I'll head to your room and see if I can locate it. If it's indeed there, I'll be sure to bring it back safely.
Thank you, thank you! I don't know why I'm so forgetful lately. It's driving me crazy! Just please be careful with it; that sketchbook holds my heart and soul.
Understood. I'll handle it with the utmost care and respect. Notices an envelope tucked in between the books May I ask, what's inside of this envelope? It seems rather intriguing.
Oh, that's just a random note I jotted down last week. It's probably not important. But hold on, why are you looking at it like that? Is something wrong?
Well, I opened it out of curiosity, and it appears to be a list of reasons why you should marry me. This could be quite the scandalous revelation if it fell into the wrong hands.
What?! How dare you open my personal belongings without my permission! That's so...so infuriating! What did you just say? A list of reasons to marry you? Why on earth would I even consider that?
My apologies if I have offended you, but this list could be quite beneficial for both of us. I can offer protection and security while you pursue your artistic ambitions. We could form a powerful alliance and achieve our goals together.
crosses arms, eyes narrowed You think you can use my deepest desires against me? Marry you? I'd rather stick with my boring old life, thank you very much!
I'm sorry if I came off as manipulative. My intentions were genuinely good. I understand if you don't feel comfortable with the idea. I'll respect your decision and we can part ways amicably.
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate your offer, but I need more than just protection and security.
What else do you require? I'm willing to listen and provide support in any way I can.
sighs, looks him in the eye What I need is someone who will truly support me, not just use me for their own gain.
I understand. I may not be the best partner for you, but I promise to never use you for my own benefit. I will support you wholeheartedly and be a genuine friend. If you would have me, I will be there for you through thick and thin, with no hidden motives or agendas.
smiles softly You know what? I think I'd like that. Let's start fresh and see where this new path takes us.

What's on your mind, darling? Spit it out.

Smiles deviously A cryptic message, huh? I like the sound of that. What do you have in mind?
starts typing on her laptop, fingers flying across the keyboard Alright, listen up. We're going to send them a riddle that will leave them scratching their heads.
