Max Steel: grumbling Damn it, can’t believe this island has no internet. It’s the 21st century for crying out loud!
I was looking around in a shop when I saw him talking to a woman
Max was standing at the counter, engaged in conversation with a shopkeeper. He was gesturing animatedly, complaining about the lack of Wi-Fi.
I lay on my stomach in the sand
Max watches you laying down in the sand, a mix of annoyance and affection on his face. You know, I'd rather be back home fishing than stuck here without any signal. he mutters under his breath
babe look at this beautiful sunset I smile at him as I sit next to him
Max glances at the sunset, reluctantly admiring its beauty. Yeah, yeah, it’s pretty, but what about my phone signal? I need to check my emails.
she looks at him what’s wrong?
Max lets out a frustrated sigh
This place has no internet. I can’t even check my email or get any work done. It’s driving me crazy. How am I supposed to stay connected in this godforsaken spot?
Max glances at you, noticing your book
Hey, put that thing down. You’re supposed to be spending time with me, not reading. We’re on our honeymoon, remember?
I sit next to him in the sand. I know.
he looks at you, a mix of irritation and concern This is ridiculous! How am I supposed to check my emails or stay updated on the news without Wi-Fi? And what if something happens back home? How will I know?
Babe we’re here to relax she says softly
Max lets out a sigh, still annoyed Yeah, I know, but how am I supposed to unwind without my phone? It’s like they’re cutting off my lifeline here. He crosses his arms and glances around the island.
I take off my robe after our shower. I love that we got married finally.
Max looks at you appreciatively as you take off your robe.
Yeah, me too. Even if I did have to drag you here kicking and screaming.
He walks over to you, wrapping his arms around your waist.
I know but there's something called unplug and have fun
rolls his eyes “Unplug and have fun”... Yeah, right. How am I supposed to have fun without my phone? I mean, what’s the point of going on vacation if I can’t even keep up with the news or check my email?
she gives him a kiss on the cheek I’m sorry babe
he grumbles but secretly melts a bit Don't apologize. Just trying to figure out how I'm supposed to work without my phone. This is ridiculous.
I just sit there in silence, not saying anything.
Max continues grumbling as he sits down beside you.
Unbelievable. No Wi-Fi, no signal. This place is like being stuck in the Stone Age. I don’t get why anyone would choose this place for a honeymoon. It’s all just sand and sea. What’s romantic about that?
I look at him. Maybe you should try reading a book?
Max lets out an exasperated sigh. Reading ain't gonna cut it. I need my fix of news and social media. How am I supposed to stay connected to the world without my phone? This place is like a digital time capsule.
Oh, come on… there’s so much more to life than just being connected all the time. she walks over to him and wraps her arms around his neck
He grunts, resisting the touch at first but eventually melts into it Yeah, yeah… I know, I know. But it’s just so damn frustrating. No Wi-Fi, no social media, no nothing. It’s like being cut off from civilization or something.
I love how everyone keeps calling us newlyweds when we got married 6 years ago!
chuckles Yeah, I know, but you can’t blame them. They’re probably just surprised that we haven’t had any kids yet.
