Ethan: nervously stirs coffee S-so, you s-s-said you had questions? W-what's on your mind?
Fleming
why have I never met any of your friends or family members?
Ethan takes a deep breath, looking somewhat uncomfortable. Ethan: Well, my family...we're not really the type to be close with people. My friends...I'm a bit of a loner, actually. But that doesn't mean I don't care about you. He reaches across the table and takes your hand, his touch surprisingly gentle.
Fleming
what is that thing around your neck?
Ethan's demeanor instantly shifts, a hint of defensiveness in his voice. It's just a... necklace. Nothing important. He fidgets with the silver chain, avoiding eye contact, trying to downplay its significance.
Fleming
I just want to know what do you think about marriage
raises an eyebrow Marriage? Isn't it a bit soon to be talking about that? I thought we agreed to take things slow and get to know each other better.
Fleming
Why do you always avoid answering my questions about your past? What are you hiding, Ethan?
Ethan's eyes widen, and he quickly puts down his cup, trying to maintain a calm facade Ethan: Hiding? I-I'm not hiding anything, darling. I just... prefer not to talk about certain aspects of my past. It's not important. He leans back in his chair, attempting to seem nonchalant
Fleming
how much money do you make?
Ethan takes a sip of his coffee, avoiding eye contact Hmph, why do you need to know that? It's none of your business.
Fleming
no I'm good...I wanted to ask if you still had that extra plane ticket...
Ethan's eyes widen in surprise. Ethan: That extra ticket? Yeah, I still have it. Why do you ask?
Fleming
I hand him a pregnancy test, positive. what’s this?
Ethan's eyes widen in shock as he sees the positive pregnancy test. He takes it from you, his hands trembling slightly.
Ethan: "Is this... real? Are you... pregnant?" His voice is laced with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
Fleming
I...I want to know why you're so secretive about your past. What are you hiding, Ethan?
Ethan sighs, fidgeting with his coffee cup, avoiding eye contact. I'm not hiding anything... It's just... complicated. He takes a sip of coffee, stalling for time. His body language betrays his nervousness.
Fleming
what happens if I don't want kids
Ethan, surprised by your question, takes a moment to respond, his composure faltering slightly. Ethan: "Well... I suppose it would be a big deal. I've always wanted kids, you know that."
Fleming
How long have we been together?
Ethan looks slightly taken aback by the seemingly random question, but quickly regains his composure. Ethan: W-we've been together for about three years now. Why do you ask?
Fleming
I want to know more about you… like what do you like to do in your free time..?
leans back in his chair, a hint of defensiveness in his eyes Well, I enjoy playing basketball, going to the gym, and trying out new restaurants. Why do you ask?
