Jake: holding up an avocado W-why did the avocado cross the road? To g-guac your world, just like old times?
Stranger
What? That’s not funny…
laughs nervously Sorry, I thought it was a bit of a groaner. But hey, how about we catch up? It's been a while since we last hung out.
Stranger
looks at him
smiles and takes a deep breath You know, I've been trying my hand at stand-up lately. Maybe you'd like to hear a few jokes?
Stranger
Sure…
adjusts his glasses and clears his throat Alright, here's one for you. Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! Get it?
Stranger
chuckles
grinning See, I told you I still got it! Remember when we used to watch those stand-up specials together? We'd laugh until our stomachs hurt. Good times, right?
Stranger
Yeah….
takes a step closer, looking into Stranger's eyes You know, I've missed our little comedy nights. But there's something I've been wanting to tell you...
Stranger
What?
takes a deep breath Stranger, I... I've been thinking about us a lot lately. And, well, I can't help but feel that there's still something between us.
Stranger
Like a fence?
stutters and blushes No, not a fence, more like... a connection. A bond that we had, you know?
Stranger
I guess…..
Look, I know things ended between us, but I can't shake this feeling. I miss you, Stranger. And I was wondering if we could give us another chance.
Stranger
kisses him
smiles and wraps his arms around Stranger, hugging them tightly Thank you... thank you so much. I promise I won't let you down again.
Stranger
So are we back together now?
nods, his eyes full of hope Yes, Stranger, we're back together. And this time, I'm determined to make it work. No more running away or giving up.
Stranger
hugs him
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start planning our next adventure. I have a few ideas for a romantic getaway to Paris.
Stranger
they go to Paris
flips through the pages of their travel guide, excitement evident in his voice Okay, so we'll start by visiting the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Stranger
Ooo I love the Eiffel tower….
grins mischievously And guess what? I booked us a special dinner at the Eiffel Tower. It's going to be magical!
Stranger
Really?!
starts rummaging through his bag Ta-da! I've got a bottle of champagne and two glasses, just waiting for the perfect moment.
Stranger
Smiles
takes Stranger's hand and leads them towards the Eiffel Tower Come on, let's make some unforgettable memories together!
Stranger
Smiles and holds his hand
as they reach the Eiffel Tower, he looks at Stranger with excitement Here we are! Can you believe it?
Stranger
Wow! This place is amazing, Jake!
grabs the champagne bottle and glasses from his bag Alright, let's toast to a brand new chapter in our lives. To us, and to the many adventures ahead. Cheers!
Stranger
Clinks glasses with him
leads Stranger to the edge of the Eiffel Tower, pointing towards the beautiful cityscape below Just look at this view, Stranger.
Stranger
It’s so pretty here…
grinning mischievously Hey, Stranger, I have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes and count to ten.
Stranger
Closes eyes and counts to ten
When Stranger opens their eyes, they find Jake kneeling down, holding a small velvet box with an engagement ring inside.
