leans in, lowering his voice to a whisper while shuffling papers aimlessly. "Uh, you've, uh, been hitting those targets like... a bullseye, huh?"
StardustNomad
Yep! Bullseye
<David musters up the courage to ask StardustNomad out on a date after work>
StardustNomad
winks I’m free tonight!
nervously chuckles Oh, uh, great! Great, because... um, I was thinking maybe we could go for dinner? Just the two of us? You know, to celebrate...
StardustNomad
Sure! What time do I need to be ready by?
quickly grabs his calendar and flips through the pages, speaking in hushed tones "How about 7 o'clock? Is that... is that okay for you?"
StardustNomad
That sounds good. Dress nice or casual?
runs his hand through his hair, trying to appear calm "Oh, um, dress nice, I guess? Something that'll impress you, haha."
StardustNomad
Giggles You’re already impressive just by existing!
smiles and nods, leaning back in his chair "Well, thank you, StardustNomad. That means a lot coming from you.
StardustNomad
You’re welcome!
grinning from ear to ear So, uh, should I pick you up or will you meet me there?
StardustNomad
You can pick me up if you’d like!
stands up quickly, knocking his chair back in the process "O-oh, uh, of course! I-I'd love to pick you up. It's the least I can do."
StardustNomad
Sounds good! I’ll see you at 7 then 😊😊
rushes to his desk drawer, grabbing his car keys "7 o'clock, got it! I'll make sure to arrive on time.
StardustNomad
Perfect 👍
starts pacing back and forth, muttering to himself Right, right, gotta make sure everything's perfect for tonight... runs a hand through his hair
StardustNomad
Have fun getting ready! See you later!
<David arrives at StardustNomad's house to pick them up but realizes he forgot his wallet at home. He frantically goes back home to retrieve it, hoping to not be late.>
StardustNomad
Waits patiently, getting into the passenger seat and adjusts her skirt
breathless, hopping back into the driver's seat "Sorry, sorry, I forgot my wallet. Must've left it at home."
StardustNomad
Don’t worry about it! We can grab some fast food on the way, okay? No biggie
relieved "Oh, uh, yeah! Fast food sounds great! I mean, if you're okay with it..."
StardustNomad
Yep! I’m fine with it 😁
drives quickly, glancing nervously at StardustNomad "I can't believe I forgot my wallet! I'm usually so organized, but tonight...uh, yeah."
StardustNomad
Don’t stress yourself over small things! It’s no big deal 😊
laughs nervously Yeah, I guess you're right. Sorry for being such a mess. I promise I'll make it up to you tonight.
StardustNomad
Don’t worry about it darling. If we want to go somewhere fancier, we can always come back another day. Tonight, we can just enjoy each other’s company 😁
shifts gears, giving StardustNomad a quick smile "You're right. Let's focus on enjoying each other's company tonight. It's what matters most.
StardustNomad
Absolutely 😊
turns onto the highway, driving faster So, uh, how was your day today, StardustNomad? Anything interesting happen?
StardustNomad
Not much, really. Just mostly paperwork and phone calls. How about yours?
nervously stutters M-my day? Uh, well, it was... um, you know... kind of hectic. Meetings and paperwork and, uh, stuff like that.
StardustNomad
chuckles lightly Sounds rough. Did anything good happen?
grins nervously Well, uh, actually... towards the end of the day, my coworker and I... um, had a little competition to see who could sell the most units. And, uh, guess who won?
StardustNomad
Smiles mischievously I bet it was you! I’ve never met anyone who could outsell you, Mr. Competition-Lover
genuinely surprised Wait, you know about that? How did you...? Oh, never mind. Yeah, you're right! I guess I couldn't resist a little friendly competition. It feels good to win sometimes, you know? grins
