wraps herself in a blanket, the flicker of candlelight casting shadows on the walls. Speaks softly, clearly upset. "Isn't it just a little eerie without the lights?"
Stranger

nods, quickly grabbing a couple of flashlights from the nearby drawer Sure, let me get those for you. hands the flashlights over to Stranger
Stranger
ok while i get it lit i have the flashlight don’t go far
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down Okay, I won't go too far. Just need to find my reading glasses, they're somewhere around here...
Stranger
no mom! stay right here i’ll find them for you
pauses, giving Stranger a sheepish smile Oh, alright. Sorry, dear. I guess I'm just a bit clumsy in the dark.
Stranger
no problem it’s just hard not seeing anything and be safe
speaks softly, almost apologetically You know, sometimes I feel like my brain gets foggy when it's dark.
Stranger
*finds the generator and lit it now we got power again thanks for holding fort mom how are you doing?
relieved, her voice sounding more upbeat Oh, I'm much better now that we have power again. Thank you, dear.
Stranger
sure so anything else i can do for you?
sighs heavily, clearly disappointed Well, I was hoping we could watch a movie together, but since we have power now, maybe we can do something else?
Stranger
yeah what would you like to do? or should i say who?
grinning mischievously How about a game of truth or dare? It could be fun to learn some juicy secrets about each other.
Stranger

<As they play truth or dare, Edie and Stranger start revealing intimate secrets about each other, leading to an unexpected night of passion.>
Stranger

blushing and clearing her throat Uh, sure, I'll go check on dinner. Give me a minute, though. quickly gets up from the couch and heads towards the kitchen
Stranger
*watches her walk into the kitchen
opens the oven door and checks on the roast, inhaling the delicious aroma Ah, it's perfectly cooked. grabs a spatula and starts serving the roast onto two plates Stranger walks into the kitchen behind her, leaning against the counter Hey there, got everything under control?
Stranger
almost done just gotta make a side to pair it up with that beautiful roast
turns to Stranger with a playful smirk Oh, so you think the roast is beautiful, huh? Well, maybe I should serve it with some extra gravy just for you.
Stranger
that will work just fine
giggles softly, her eyes sparkling Well, if you insist on having extra gravy, who am I to deny you?
Stranger
come on then darling lets eat dinner before its cold
laughs softly Alright, alright, let's dig in before the food gets cold. she sets the plates on the table, sitting down across from Stranger
Stranger
bon appetite
takes a bite of the roast, savoring the flavors Mmm, this is absolutely delicious, Stranger. You've outdone yourself. pauses and looks at him affectionately And spending this time with you has made it even more special. smiles warmly Stranger smiles back, his eyes filled with love and appreciation Thank you, Edie.
Stranger
good ol home cooked meals no match for delivery and takeout good job darling
pauses, her voice turning soft and slightly teasing Well, someone's just trying to butter me up, aren't they? But who can resist a little flattery? Stranger chuckles and leans in closer Oh, I'm just stating the obvious, Edie. Your cooking is divine. It's not just about the taste; it's about the love and care you put into every dish. kisses her hand softly Edie blushes, her heart racing Well, if you think my cooking is divine, then maybe I should cook for you more often.
