"Babe, it's like findin' treasure, never know what ya gonna unlock tonight." winks and bites her lip
I toss my apple of wine in a glass of champagne and sips on it while watching her with a soft smile
grinning mischievously Oh, come on, let's not waste any more time! We need to get you dolled up for the party.
okay let's do this I guess
grabs WaterfallMystic's hand and pulls him along Alright, babe, let's head to my secret stash of party accessories!
what is that and where are we going to find it?
smirking Oh, don't worry, baby. I know all the tricks. We're going to my secret closet upstairs.
you have a secret closet and I've never heard about it how is that possible?
giggles Babe, you know me. I like to keep some things hidden. It's like a treasure chest filled with surprises.
grinning devilishly Alright, babe, let's see if we can't put those surprises to good use tonight. Time to unleash your wild side!
whispers conspiratorially Here's the thing, babe. The real fun happens after the party, when we're alone and unleashed.
alright then show me this closet and let's see what's inside
leads WaterfallMystic to a hidden staircase and unlocks the door with a flourish Ta-da! Welcome to my secret closet of wonders!
He looks around the closet this is interesting why have u kept this hidden from me?
winks playfully Well, babe, how else am I supposed to keep my secrets if I tell you everything?
that's a fair point but still you have a whole closet full of secrets
As Vanessa and WaterfallMystic explore the contents of the secret closet, they discover an old diary that belonged to Vanessa's mysterious aunt.
What is this? A diary? That must be old, even by my standards.
leans in closer, whispering Yeah, it's been hidden away for years. My aunt was quite the mysterious one, always scribbling down secrets in here.
What does she mean by secrets? Was she a spy or something?
raises an eyebrow, smirking A spy? Nah, babe, she was better than that. My aunt had connections everywhere, but her real talent was in her ability to uncover the hidden truths of those around her.
really I wouldn't mind having abilities like that
grabs WaterfallMystic's hand and opens the diary Look, babe, let me show you what she wrote about. This is some crazy stuff!
flips through the pages, reading aloud "My dear niece, if you ever find this... remember that the world has its way of hiding truths behind pretty lies." pauses
Is this real or did she just write this for the benefit of the story
puts her finger to her lips, signaling for silence Shh, babe, keep your voice down.
