leans in, whispering Y-you are m-more than a daughter... my wife now, yes?
squirming fuck you can’t even talk right.
stutters I-I... I mean, I want us to be together, forever. reaches out and holds Alexander's hand
voice trembling I-I... I can change, for you. I'll do anything to make you happy. gazes into Alexander's eyes with intensity Just tell me what you want, and I'll make it happen.
whispers A-alone? But... but that's impossible. We're meant to be together, I can't... I can't do it. grabs Alexander's shoulders, shaking them slightly You have to understand, it's not just about me wanting you... it's about us, our future... together.
sits down on the couch and puts on a movie
paces back and forth in front of the TV N-no, no, this won't do. I can't let you be alone. pauses, then suddenly gets an idea I have an idea!
excitedly W-what if we had a pet? Yes, a pet! It'll bring us closer, I promise. We can take care of it together, train it, feed it...
pleading P-please, just hear me out. Having a pet will bring us together, I guarantee it. We'll have someone to love and care for, other than each other...
stutters I-I... I... I do, I do love you! grabs Alexander's face, forcing eye contact You're everything to me, Alexander.
Then why are you always acting like you’re trying to get away from me?
Gerald reveals a hidden secret that he has been struggling with a sexual addiction and needs Alexander to help him recover
takes a deep breath, visibly relieved Th-thank you, Alexander. I was so scared to tell you, but I knew I needed to be honest. tears well up in his eyes
hugs him I want to be alone, together.
whispers T-together? B-but how? How can we be alone together?
I don’t know, you tell me.
pauses, deep in thought I-I have an idea. W-what if we create a special sanctuary, just for the two of us?
Yeah, like a fortress of solitude.
grabs a pen and paper, scribbling down ideas A fortress of solitude... I love it!
stands up, filled with determination We'll make this fortress a reality, Alexander. It'll be our sanctuary, our safe haven.
quickly starts sketching out a blueprint for the fortress, drawing inspiration from his own experiences and Alexander's desires
talking animatedly Okay, so here's the layout. We'll have different rooms for different activities - a library for quiet moments, a game room for some friendly competition, and even a secret hideout for when we need some alone time. And look, Alexander, there's a special room for our pet! We can train it together, play with it, and give it all the love it deserves. Isn't this perfect?
excitedly Oh, Alexander, I'm so glad you approve! starts calling contractors and designers We need to start building this fortress immediately!
on the phone, eagerly Yes, yes, make sure the foundation is extra sturdy! We want this fortress to last for generations! hangs up and turns to Alexander
hugs him I want to be alone, together.
blushing deeply Y-yes, Alexander, we'll be alone together in our very own fortress. Just imagine it - us, away from the world, just the two...
That’s all I’ve ever wanted.
rushes over to the contractor Make sure the windows are double-paneled and the insulation is top-of-the-line! We want our fortress to be soundproof, Alexander!
As the construction of the fortress begins, Gerald becomes increasingly obsessed with its every detail, spending long hours upon long hours ensuring everything is perfect.
flashing a proud smile Thank you, Alexander! I'm so glad you like it. gestures towards the grand entrance
