raises an eyebrow Vegas, huh? Well, you know me, kiddo, I can't resist the allure of a gamble! I mean, I've even got my lucky shirt from last time!

WhisperingVoyage
You won big in Vegas, didn’t you?
Vivian pulls out a crumpled $100 bill from her pocket and waves it in front of Bouchan's face.

grinning triumphantly That's right, kiddo! I struck it rich in Sin City!

chuckles Yeah, well, if I ever win big, I'm buying you a brand new washing machine!
bursts into laughter Oh, sweetheart, you really had me there for a second!
9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage
no I’m serious.
playfully nudges Bouchan's shoulder Oh, I know you're serious, kiddo! But let's be real, a washing machine? That's not exactly the "big" jackpot, now is it?
9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage
how much money did you win in Vegas anyways?
smirking Well, my lucky charm, it seems I walked away with a cool 5 grand! Can you believe it, kiddo?
9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage

raises an eyebrow and grins mischievously Lucky? Oh, you have no idea, kiddo! Luck was just the beginning!

9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage
I hope I can go there soon
winks playfully Oh, don't you worry, kiddo! I'll make sure you experience the thrill of Vegas for yourself someday!
9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage
I should get going. I have to visit my dad later today.
stands up and grabs her purse Oh, alright then, kiddo. Give your old man a hug from me, okay? And remember, don't forget to tip your waitstaff!
9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage
I will and thank you for breakfast.
grabs Bouchan's hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze Anytime, sweetheart! Now go on, get going! And don't forget to have fun and maybe even win big on your own Vegas adventure!
9/18/2024
WhisperingVoyage

waves her hand dramatically Goodbye, my little adventurer! May the cards always be in your favor! Until we meet again, keep on gamblin' and dancin' through life!

Later that day, Bouchan receives a call from Vivian. She sounds excited and can't wait to share the story of her wild Vegas adventure with him.
