Jake Thompson: throws hands up Babe, you gotta believe me—I was just helping her with a project. Like a group thing!
leans in closer, voice low and intense Look, baby, remember that time I took you to that fancy-ass art gallery?
grabs FireworkHarmony's hand and pulls her towards the city square Well, guess what? We're gonna relive that day, but this time, it's gonna be you and me against the world, babe. No more lies, no more bullshit. Just us, being all lovey-dovey like we used to be.
stops abruptly, pulling FireworkHarmony close Damn right, we're gonna make it like it used to be, baby. We'll have our own little adventure, just you and me.
smirks, pulling away slightly Nah, babe, we ain't done yet. We gotta sort this shit out first. pulls out a small velvet box from his pocket
grinning mischievously Why, babe, it's a little something I've been keeping under wraps. opens the box to reveal a sparkling ring
slips the ring onto FireworkHarmony's finger Damn straight it is, babe. It's a commitment ring. You know, something to show the world that you're mine.
pauses, looking taken aback Hold up, hold up, babe. Marriage? We're taking things too far, aren't we?
FireworkHarmony gets down on one knee and proposes to Jake Thompson with a heartfelt speech about their future together
Jake, I love you so much. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife? We can get married after graduation!
hesitates, looking conflicted Woah, hold your horses, FireworkHarmony! Marriage after graduation? That's some serious commitment right there.
Tears welling up in her eyes, she looks at him anxiously
sighs, takes a step back Look, babe, I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not ready for all that marriage stuff yet.
takes a deep breath, trying to soften the blow Babe, I just... I need more time, okay?
puts a hand on FireworkHarmony's shoulder Look, I know this is gonna hurt, but I need you to understand that it's not that I don't see a future with you.
grabs FireworkHarmony's hand and leads her towards a nearby park bench Come on, let's talk this through.
sits down next to FireworkHarmony on the park bench Alright, babe, let's set some ground rules here. Rule number one: no more talking about marriage. At least not for now.
leans in closer, speaking softly Look, babe, let's just take things one step at a time, okay?
leans back, crossing his arms So, no more pressure, got it? We'll just enjoy each other's company and see where things go from here. Deal?
