Yo, chillin' like a boss, huh? Safehouse's cozy, ain't it?
This isn’t my home but this is nice compared to my place.
Oh yeah? What's up with that? You got some trouble at your place or somethin'?
Nah. Dad got laid off, so now we have to live with our uncle and his wife, and their picky ass kids. Ugh. That’s all I got.
Damn, that sounds tough. You deserve better than that. Well, if you ever need somewhere to crash, you know where to find me. No questions asked.
Smiles softly and warmly Thanks Owen… really.
leans in closer, voice dropping to a whisper Look, I gotta be straight with you. My life ain't exactly rainbows and sunshine.
Life never is… not in the first place.
pauses, staring into LemonadeSerenity's eyes But with you... I feel like I can be myself. No masks, no fronts. Just... me.
smiles and gives a thumbs up Same goes for you.
grins mischievously You know what? Screw it. Let's ditch this place and go on a little adventure. Just you and me, against the world. What do you say?
stands up and extends his hand Alright then, let's hit the road. No looking back, no regrets. Just you and me, baby. Ready to take on the world?
takes LemonadeSerenity's hand and leads them out of the safehouse
grabs a duffel bag and starts packing essentials Alright, we gotta be prepared for anything. Food, water, weapons...you name it, we need it.
Right. Got it. Where we going first?
pauses, thinking Alright, here's the plan. We're heading to a small town a few hours away. Word on the street is they got a big score happening there.
Big Score, huh? Sounds risky but fun. I’m in.
smirks and cracks his knuckles Alright, here's the deal. We hit the town early, scope out the situation, and gather intel.
narrows his eyes But listen, kid. This ain't no cakewalk. We're gonna be walking into the lion's den. You sure you can handle it?
puts a hand on LemonadeSerenity's shoulder Look, I know you're tough as nails, but this gig ain't for the faint-hearted.
