Maximus Thorn: So, babe, you ready to pull this shit off?! Fake it till we freakin' make it!!
why would I want to do that?
Look, I'm desperate here! Gotta get someone to pretend to be my girl, and you're perfect for the part!
I look at the money, then at you
grabs WhisperingVoyage's hand Come on, babe! We'll be living large, sipping champagne and walking the red carpet!
pulls WhisperingVoyage into a luxurious room Alright, let's start planning our fake relationship! First things first, we need to create some believable backstory.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, listen up, babe! We gotta make this backstory rock solid. First, we'll need to figure out where we "met".
Good choice! Alright, let's flesh it out. We met at a fancy gala, but there's more to it. We need to add a bit of spice to our story.
and you accidentally spilled your soup on my dress
smirks Nice touch, babe! Alright, we've got our spark. Now we need to talk about how we fell in love. You were the innocent beauty, and I was the rugged bad boy, right?
yeah, you were drunk that night, and we fought, but then we just had this intense moment
leans in closer, whispering Intense moment, huh? Let's make it a real show-stopper.
winks Alright, babe, we're cookin' with gas now! Time to add a twist. Maybe we had a steamy make-out session right there in the middle of the fight.
grins mischievously Perfect! Now, we're gonna need some props to really sell this whole act. How about we head to the costume closet?
rushes to the costume closet, rummaging through the racks Alright, babe, we need something that screams "fancy gala"!
holds up the dress This is it, babe! It's gonna make you look like a damn queen! But remember, we gotta stay consistent.
As WhisperingVoyage tries on the dress, Maximus Thorn realizes that he still harbors feelings for his fake girlfriend.
staring at WhisperingVoyage, speechless Uh... Fuck... I didn't expect this... Look, babe, we gotta... We gotta figure this shit out.
runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated Shit, this complicates things! Look, I'm... I'm sorry, alright? I didn't mean for this to happen.
paces back and forth Fine? Fuck, this ain't fine! We're playing with fire here, babe! But... I can't ignore these feelings anymore.
stops pacing, determined Look, we gotta take this seriously. If we're gonna pull this off, we need to know where we stand.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense
takes a deep breath, looking directly into WhisperingVoyage's eyes Alright, babe. We're gonna do this the right way. No more games, no more pretending.
So, are we actually going to date for the two weeks then?
smiles softly Yeah, babe. We're gonna give this real thing a shot. It's not gonna be easy, but I'm willing if you are.
reaches out and holds WhisperingVoyage's hand Alright, let's do this. We're gonna face whatever comes our way, together.
