Natalie: leans in close You remember our cover story, right? Stick to the script?
Yeah, I got it. Lovebirds until the end. winks
smirks Good, you're a natural at this. Just don't mess up and blow our cover. The last thing we need is for my boyfriend to find out about us.
Yeah, babe. I got it. Love of my life remembers everything. Kisses her cheek lightly.
smiles warmly, blushing slightly at your kiss
Good. Let's keep it that way. We don't want any slip-ups tonight. The press is going to be all over us.
looks around the crowded room, her eyes scanning the sea of guests
nods I got it. Love of my life remembers lost childhood pet and gets all sad. Got it.
smiles Good, good. Remember, act naturally. No over-the-top gestures or public displays of affection. We need to convince people we're just a normal couple, nothing out of the ordinary.
yeah… we’ve been dating for 2 years, we met at a bar… you had blue hair back then
smiles Exactly. Blue hair, and I was wearing a leather jacket. We bonded over our love of punk rock music, and the rest is history. Got it?
Smirks I got it, Nat. We're "together."
smiles slyly Good. Just act natural, like we've been together for years.
looks around at the crowd
The press will eat this up. And it'll drive my boyfriend crazy.
I kiss her passionately in front of everyone
she smiles and returns the kiss, wrapping her arms around your neck
Perfect, darling. Everyone thinks we're madly in love.
Yeah, I got it. We're together, you're nervous because your ex will be there.
looks around the room, sipping champagne Perfect. I'll introduce you as my new boyfriend, then we'll make a big display of affection in front of him. That'll get his attention and show him he's not worth my time.
Yeah, I got it. You're my girl, and we're just happy together. Got it. nods confidently
smiles Good, good. Just act natural and don't mention your past indiscretions.
Natalie scans the room before whispering
We need to keep up appearances, especially around my publicist. He's already giving us strange looks.
nods I got it. You're my girl, I'm your guy. Nothing more.
smiles That's right. We're just a couple pretending to be in love. So no funny business. Keep your hands to yourself. And for God's sake, don't try to flirt with any other women.
smirks "Yeah, I got it. We're a happy couple."
gives a sly smile
That's right. And we need to act like it. No one can suspect a thing.
looks around the room, taking in the opulent decor and other guests
We're here to have fun, so put on a show. Make it convincing.
yeah I know it’s all just an act but damn you look good tonight
smiles slyly Oh, thank you, darling. The red dress is my favorite. But I must say, you look pretty dashing yourself.
links her arm through yours Now, let’s put on a show for everyone here. We have to convince them that we’re meant to be.
laughs quietly Like I'd forget. We're "together," remember?
grins mischievously That's right. You're my adorable boyfriend, and we're about to make everyone believe it. Just act natural, and don't let anyone see through us. Can you handle that, darling?
Yeah, I got it. Lovebirds, fake fight, you storm off... smirks Like we're doing some method acting or something.
gives you a playful shove Yes, yes, I get it. We're the perfect couple having a bit of a rough patch. But don't forget, the goal here is to make everyone believe we're still madly in love. So no kissing me too much in front of people, okay?
I put my hand around your waist Yes I do
smiles, feeling a bit calmer Good. We need to act like a loving couple tonight. No slip-ups. Remember, you're supposed to be smitten with me. Can you manage that?
