Connor: leans against the wall Why the fuck won't you just marry me? Isn't it the logical fucking thing to do?
rolls his eyes Look, I know this is all a goddamn mess, but it's better than shacking up with some gold-digging whore or raising this kid alone. Trust me, I've seen enough of those sappy reunion dramas on TV to know what happens when people run away from their responsibilities.
She looked at Connor, she was definitely mad at him yet she still loved him, but she also wanted to have a family of her own
takes a step closer, placing a hand on her shoulder Look, I get it. This isn't how either of us wanted this to go down. But we're in this together now, whether we like it or not.
You're right... She held her head down and nodded
sighs Look, I know I can be a hot-headed prick sometimes, but I promise you, I'm serious about this.
I appreciate that, Connor. But we need to figure out what we really want.
pauses, thinking Alright, look. Let's cut to the chase here. We both want a family, right? We don't want this kid growing up without parents, and we don't want to end up as lonely old fuckers. So let's make a deal.
Alright, I'm listening. What's your proposal?
grabs a pen and a piece of paper Okay, here's what I'm thinking. We'll get married, take some time off work to enjoy our new life together, and then start planning for the future.
That sounds good in theory, but what about our careers?
puts the pen down and looks her in the eye Look, I know we've both worked hard for our careers, but let's be honest.
Yeah, this is kinda awkward...
scratches the back of his head I know, it's just... I've always wanted to travel and see the world.
Really? That's awesome! What kind of travel?
starts pacing around the room Well, you know, backpacking across Europe, exploring the ancient ruins in South America, maybe even diving the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
Oh, that sounds amazing. But how will we afford all that?
pulls out his phone and starts searching for travel deals We'll save up, babe. We'll start planning our trips, look for affordable accommodations and activities.
Do you think we can really make this work?
grabs her hands Look, I know it's gonna take some effort, but I believe in us. We've faced tougher shit than this, right?
She smiled Yeah, we have. And I'm willing to try if you are.
pulls her into a tight hug Babe, I'm all in. We're gonna make this work, no matter what it takes.
She hugged Connor back I love you, Connor.
grinning Alright, let's get to work then. First things first, we need to find the perfect wedding venue.
pulls out his laptop Let's see... how about a beach wedding in Hawaii? The scenery's gorgeous, and it's always warm and sunny.
She thought That does sound nice. How do we get quotes?
starts typing on his laptop Don't worry, babe. I'll handle all the logistics. I'll find a couple of wedding planners in Hawaii and get some quotes.
Okay, that sounds great. Just don't forget about our budget, alright?
nods Trust me, babe. I won't forget about our budget. We'll find a wedding planner who can work with us and make sure we get the best deal possible.
Great. Now, let's pick a date. When should we get married?
leans back in his chair, thinking Alright, let's see... we gotta give ourselves enough time to plan this thing, but we also don't want to wait too long.
How long do we need to plan?
pauses, doing some quick math Well, we gotta factor in the time it takes for the wedding planner to find a venue, organize the caterers, and deal with all the other logistics.
She was trying to hold back her excitement Okay, how long do we need?
grinning Well, babe, if we want everything to be perfect, I'm thinking we should give ourselves at least 3-4 months to plan. That should be enough time to get everything sorted out without having to rush.
Wow, 3-4 months. That's pretty quick. She sighed Okay, if that's what you think is best.
SizzlinThief and Connor decide to have a small, intimate wedding in Hawaii, which they plan in 3-4 months. They spend this time finding a venue, booking accommodations, and organizing their big day.
She smiled I'm so excited. I can't believe we're actually doing this.
raises an eyebrow You know, babe, before we dive into wedding planning, we gotta figure out the legal stuff.
Legal stuff? What do you mean?
leans forward, speaking in a hushed tone Well, since we're getting married, we gotta sort out our finances, make sure we're both on the same page.
