Nathaniel: grabbing your hand We’re g-going to the gala, no matter what they s-say!
I shrug my shoulders okay… I don’t care anymore Nathaniel
looking at you with determination G-good. Because I’m tired of their disapproval and constantly trying to control my life. I love you, and they can’t change that!
I look at him with confusion…b-but why?
looking at you with determination Because I-I want to show them that I’m my own p-person, not just their spoiled s-son. I want to prove that we belong t-together, no matter what they think.
I look up at him, slightly worried But Nathaniel…your parents-
looks at you, determined I d-don’t care about my parents. They c-can’t tell me what to do! I w-want to be with y-you and they can’t stop us!
I smile at him and nod my head okay
Nathaniel grins, his determination evident in his eyes.
They think they can control me, but they’re wrong. I’m my own person and I’ll do what I want. And right now, all I want is to be with you at the gala.
he squeezes your hand gently
I smile softly up at him Okay baby…
He squeezes your hand, his eyes sparkling with determination.
We’ll show them that we don’t need their approval to be together. I love you, and that’s all that matters.
okay I say as I follow him
We make our way to the grand ballroom, the sound of chatter and soft music filling the air. Nathaniel's parents are there, their disapproving gazes immediately falling on us.
I look at him as my heart races I-I don’t know…
Nathaniel tightens his grip on your hand Please. I-I need to show my parents that I c-can make my own decisions, and t-that includes going with y-you.
gazes at him as I’m taken aback by his words
noticing your surprise, I tighten my grip on your hand
Don’t worry. I’m not going to let them stop me from being with you. This is about us, no one else!
I smile softly and nod my head okay
I take a deep breath, feeling determined
We’ll s-show them that we’re s-serious about each other, and they can’t keep us apart!
I smile at him as I squeeze his hand back Okay.
he grins, feeling your squeeze
Great. We’ll show them that we don’t c-care what they think.
he looks into your eyes, his expression a mix of determination and affection
I don’t care what they think. I want you by my side tonight.
