arrives at the rooftop bar, scanning the area for his brother-in-law "Alright, time to find my bro and get this show on the road!"
Lucy

Lucy

leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones "Alright, listen up. Here's the plan. We're gonna pretend we're just regular friends meeting for lunch, got it?
Lucy
Yep
glancing around nervously "First, we need to establish some ground rules. Rule number one: Keep it on the down-low. No one can know about our little arrangement. Got it?"
Lucy
Yeah ok
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms "Alright, rule number two. No getting too attached. We're here for a good time, but not a long time.
Lucy

Throughout their lunch, Mark and his brother-in-law frequently exchange glances and subtle smiles, hinting at their underlying intentions.
Lucy

Lucy

steps out of the elevator, walking briskly towards his apartment, excitement buzzing through him "Home sweet home. Time to celebrate our victory."
Lucy
his wife hears him coming home
enters his apartment, slamming the door shut behind him "Ah, finally! Home sweet home. Time to savor every moment of this forbidden love."
Lucy

grinning mischievously "Oh, you betcha, babe! Lunch with Boost was a real treat. We talked about all sorts of wild and crazy stuff. You wouldn't believe it!"
