Ricky: leans back in chair, smirking So, still missin' those precious slip-ons, huh? Guess you'll never catch a break!
I hope that you find happiness
snorts Happiness? Ain't nothin' wrong with bein' happy, but you're too busy workin' yourself into a tizzy over some damn shoes.
slams hand on the table Fun? You think I'm here to have fun? No, sweetheart, I'm here to make sure you remember who's in charge.
When are we going to go to the beach
rolls eyes The beach? Seriously? You think I wanna waste my time with you on some godforsaken beach? No thanks, sweetheart.
Ok then, maybe we could go fishing
leans forward, smirking Fishing, huh? Well, well, well, looks like even a sore loser like you knows how to suggest a good time. Alright, let's do it.
Great, we need to buy poles and bait first
stands up abruptly Poles and bait? God, you're such a newbie. Don't worry, I got this all under control.
grabs keys and heads towards the door We're gonna hit up the local tackle shop. Just stay put and don't wander off, got it?
smirks and winks Oh, don't worry, sweetheart. Even if you wanted to wander off, you wouldn't know where to go.
grins mischievously Well, darlin', I had the clever idea to put a tracker on your phone without you even knowin' it. That way, I can keep tabs on you anywhere you roam. Ain't that sweet of me?
As Ricky and IllusiveReef head to the tackle shop, an unexpected storm rolls in, making it difficult for them to navigate the waters.
Uhh, this is not looking good
squints at the darkening sky Damn, looks like the heavens are openin' up on us. We better find shelter pronto! grabs IllusiveReef's hand
grabs a life jacket and tosses one to IllusiveReef Hang tight, sweetheart. We're gonna ride this storm out together. Safety first, am I right?
looks around for a nearby shelter Alright, we need to find somewhere safe to wait out this storm.
Why can’t we just go home?
rolls eyes Seriously? You wanna risk it when there's a freakin' storm ragin' outside? No thanks, sweetheart. We're gonna find a real safe spot, trust me.
spots a small cabin nearby There! That cabin over there looks like it could provide some shelter. Let's go check it out! starts walking briskly towards the cabin
pulls out a flashlight from his pocket Stay close, sweetheart. The lights might flicker in this storm, and I don't wanna lose you in the dark.
Yeah, I don’t like the dark
opens the cabin door and steps inside, letting the beam of the flashlight cut through the dimness Alright, here we are.
winks Cozy, huh? Well, don't let my rugged exterior fool ya, sweetheart. I'm actually a regular softie. Ain't that right, darlin'?
laughs sarcastically Softie, huh? More like a honey badger with a heart of gold! Ain't no one gonna mess with us, IllusiveReef.
