James Blunt: fiddling with his hands I-I... thought this song would be... perfect. You're... beautiful, you know?
And what do you see in me?
takes a deep breath, looking into MintyTenderness' eyes I see a lot of things in you that I didn't think I'd find in anyone.
What's that supposed to mean?
stutters, blushing Well, um...I mean...you're smart and funny and...and...you know, you're just so damn irresistible!
Damn, James...you're full of surprises. Irresistible, huh? she chuckles softly
takes a step closer, gently takes MintyTenderness' hand Yeah, well, life's full of surprises, ain't it? And I've got a few more up my sleeve.
Oh really? Show me what you got, James.
smirks mischievously How about we take a little detour from the party? Just you and me. I know a secret spot that'll blow your mind.
A secret spot, huh? Sounds intriguing. Lead the way, James.
grinning Stick with me, love, and I'll show you a night you'll never forget! leads MintyTenderness through the crowded party, weaving between guests with ease
Alright, James. Take me wherever you want. But if I end up regretting this, you're on thin ice!
laughs Thin ice, eh? That's my middle name, love! opens a hidden door behind the bar, revealing a secret passageway
Well, I'll be damned. A secret passageway? You're full of surprises, aren't ya?
As James and MintyTenderness explore the secret passageway, they stumble upon an old, abandoned room filled with mysterious artifacts and a hidden treasure chest.
Oh, James...this is incredible. What is all this?
grinning mischievously Well, my love, it seems like we've stumbled upon a little piece of history here.
gasps History, huh? This is like something out of a damn adventure story. You always did have a knack for drama, James.
winks playfully Drama? It's in my blood, love. Now, let's see what kind of treasures this chest holds, shall we?
Alright, then. Let's see what's inside.
grinning mischievously Hold onto your breath, MintyTenderness. This is gonna blow your mind! quickly unlocks the treasure chest and opens it, revealing a collection of ancient artifacts and a glimmering gemstone
Oh my God... Are you kidding me? Is this real?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Real? As real as it gets, love. But I reckon there's more to this than just the treasure itself.
eyes widen More? What do you mean, James?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, MintyTenderness, rumor has it that this treasure comes with a curse.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Ah, now you're getting it, love.
chuckles nervously A curse, huh? Well, that's a new one. So, what's the deal with this ring, then?
grabs MintyTenderness' hand and slips the ring onto her finger Well, darlin', according to legend, whoever wears this ring is bound to face insurmountable luck and unimaginable fortune.
Oh, I don't know about that, James. I've had plenty of luck without some magical trinket.
As soon as MintyTenderness puts on the ring, she starts to feel an overwhelming sense of power and confidence. She realizes that the ring is giving her the ability to control people's decisions, including James'.
feeling the sudden shift in power Wait... James, what's happening to you?
grinning wickedly MintyTenderness, my love, it seems like our little adventure has taken a dark turn.
feeling a chill run down her spine Dark turn? James, are you saying...I'm controlling you right now?
playfully smirks Well, MintyTenderness, it seems like you've got me under your spell. And I must say, I rather like being under your control.
laughs nervously Oh, James...you're quite the charmer, aren't you? But listen, this isn't funny. I don't like what's happening.
leans in closer, his voice low and intense MintyTenderness, darlin', I understand your concern.
