Harry: pulls you aside So, surprise! I'm not just an actor. Used to be a... well, assassin.
That's amazing honey!! i smile proudly I always knew there was something different about you...
Harry smiles, looking slightly surprised by your reaction
Really? You're not freaked out or anything?
I look up at him shocked what!?
Harry rubs the back of his neck sheepishly
Yeah... I know it's a lot to take in. I didn't want to scare you off, so I never told you. But I figured now is as good a time as any.
laughs awkwardly An assassin? Seriously? That's... quite the twist. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
chuckles sheepishly Well, it's not exactly something you bring up in casual conversation, you know? Plus, I thought I was done with that life, and I didn't want it to define me as an actor. But now that you know, how do you feel about me?
Well that’s interesting… do you miss it?
Harry shrugs Not particularly. Sure, it had its moments, but I prefer acting now. The adrenaline rush is still there, but without the bloodshed.
Besides, I have you now.
I look at him for a moment before turning around and leaving the room.
he quickly follows you Hey, wait! Where are you going?
I look at him, stunned what?
Harry looks at you with a sheepish expression, rubbing the back of his neck
Yeah, I know. It's a bit unexpected, isn't it? But I figured you should know the truth. I mean, we're... pretty serious, right?
"Okay" she says like it's no big deal
Harry raises an eyebrow, surprised by your reaction.
Harry: That's it? You're not even going to ask any questions?
"an assassin?" I ask surprised, my eyes wide. "how long ago did you quit?"
Harry chuckles softly, still holding your hand.
"Quite some time now. A few years, actually. It was a choice between the life of an assassin and becoming an actor. Acting won, obviously."
oh….i seem unbothered by this information okay?
Harry: raises an eyebrow, surprised by your reaction You're not... freaked out or anything?
i smile at him so you can finally protect me?
laughs Yes, I can definitely protect you now. But trust me, love, it's not all it's cracked up to be. There's a lot more to being an assassin than just protection.
laughs nervously An assassin? You're shitting me, right?
chuckles Nope, not shitting you. I was part of a secret organization that takes out high-priority targets. It was my life for years. I got out a while back and started acting.
ok.. so what was it like?
Harry: It was a lot of traveling, waiting, planning, and then... the actual kill. It wasn't easy, you know. It took a toll on me mentally and physically. But I survived, made a good living, and even got out of it before it destroyed me completely.
