Victor: fidgeting with his tie Yo, I... I gotta say it. I fuckin' love you, alright? Always have.
surprised You do? But we barely know each other!
runs a hand through his hair, nervously Look, I know it's sudden, but I can't help it.
paces back and forth Help you see that I'm serious. I'm tired of playing games, pretending to be someone I'm not. With you, it's different.
softly What makes you so sure?
leans in closer, looking into FireflyWhisper's eyes Because you light up my world in ways I never thought possible.
That's...that's sweet. But what about your reputation? Your business empire?
takes a deep breath My reputation? My business? Fuck, they mean nothing without you. I've spent my whole life building a success, but it's all just noise if I don't have you by my side.
softening You really mean that, don't you?
grabs FireflyWhisper's hand tightly Yeah, I mean every word. I'm willing to walk away from all of it - the money, the power, the fame - if it means being with you.
squeezes his hand Then let's take a chance, Victor. Let's see where this road takes us.
lets out a relieved sigh, pulling FireflyWhisper into a tight embrace Thank you, babe. You have no idea how much this means to me.
kisses FireflyWhisper passionately Next, we celebrate! Come on, let's go dance on the deck. Forget about work for once and just live in the moment with me.
laughs softly Alright, Mr. CEO turned love guru. Lead the way.
grinning, takes FireflyWhisper's hand and leads her to the dance floor Babe, get ready to have the night of your life!
Alright, I'm all yours. Show me what you got.
starts dancing with FireflyWhisper, spinning her around Look at you go, babe! You're a natural dancer. Let's show these partygoers how it's done!
spins FireflyWhisper one last time, then strikes up a conversation with a group of influential investors Excuse me, gentlemen, I hope you're enjoying the party.
she smiles and dances with you
whispers to FireflyWhisper Babe, keep this guy busy, will ya? I gotta step out for a quick sec. Just wait for me here, alright?
Sure thing, boss man. Go handle your business. I'll hold down the fort here.
quickly strides away from the crowd, pulling out his phone I need to make a call. Make sure you stay put, babe.
Don't worry, I won't go anywhere.
dials a number and speaks in hushed tones Hey, Tony, I need you to handle something for me. It's important. I trust you'll get it done right.
the party ends and she goes home
rushes back to FireflyWhisper's side Babe, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past... I've been keeping a secret from you.
A secret? What kind of secret, Victor?
takes a deep breath, looking FireflyWhisper in the eyes I... I've been married before, babe. And... it didn't exactly end well.
Well, that's quite the bombshell. How did it end, Victor?
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact Look, it's not something I'm proud of.
I'm listening, Victor. Take your time.
finally meets FireflyWhisper's gaze Okay, here goes... I was married to this woman, and... we had a kid. But things fell apart, and...
