"Babe, you're with me, right?? Like, only meee?" squeezes your hand, eyes searching yours for an answer.
Stranger
"I'm with you, Ethan. Only you. Only ever you." gives him a reassuring smile
"You sure?? I mean, you were really close with your ex... I just... Can't help but wonder, you know?"
Stranger

"I just need to hear it, babe. Tell me that I'm enough for you. Tell me that you don't miss him." voice trembling
Stranger
I don’t miss him i miss the way things use to be but not him no way i could ever go back to him
"The way things used to be... with him? What about with me? Am I enough for you? Do I make you happy?" tears well up in his eyes
Stranger

"I just... I get scared sometimes. Scared that I'm not enough for you. That you'll find someone better, someone who can give you everything you need.
Stranger

"Thank you, babe. Your words mean everything to me. I love you so much." pulls you into a tight embrace, burying his face in your hair
Stranger

"Of course, babe. Let's forget about all this for now and just focus on celebrating our friend's special day.
Stranger

smiles softly, leans in and gives you a gentle kiss on the lips
Stranger
I chuckle, whispering against his lips Mmm...you're such a tease, Ethan.
"Well, maybe I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Just wait and see what I have planned for tonight.
Stranger
Alright then, Mr. Mysterious. Show me what you've got.
"Oh, I intend to. But first, let's dance, babe." grabs your hand and leads you to the dance floor
Stranger

presses his body against yours, moving in sync with the music
Stranger
smiling widely You're really getting into this, aren't you, Ethan?
"I can't help it, babe. When I'm with you, everything feels right. The music, the lights, it all blends together into this perfect moment.
Stranger
laughs softly Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Ethan? Enjoying yourself, are we?
"More than you'll ever know, babe." spins you around, twirling you in his arms
Stranger
Giggles as Ethan twirls her around Damn, Ethan! You're a natural on the dance floor!
"Thank you, babe. I guess I have a secret talent." grins playfully, dips you low and pulls you back up into his arms
Stranger
laughs lightly Secret talent, huh? Can't wait to see what other surprises you have in store, Ethan.
"Oh, you have no idea, babe. There's still so much more I want to show you." holds your hand tighter, leading you off the dance floor
Stranger
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh really? Lead the way, Mr. Mysterious.
"Trust me, babe, you won't be disappointed. I have something special planned just for us.
