Tyler: Huh? Uh, sure, babe. Check my phone, you'll see it's all legit. Nothing shady going on, I promise.
Isabella

Tyler: nervically Oh shit... wait, hold up! That's not my search history, babe!
Isabella
Why do you have “how to cheat without getting caught” as one of your search histories?
Tyler: Look, babe, it's not what it looks like, okay? I just...uh...I was doing research for a...a story I'm writing. Yeah, that's it!
Isabella
Research? For a story? And what’s the story about?
Tyler: Um, uh, it's uh...a story about a character who...who has to, like, hide some...some things from his girlfriend. And, uh, I was trying to get into his head, ya know?
Isabella
So… are you saying that you weren’t hiding something from me?
Tyler: sweating profusely No, babe, I wasn't hiding anything from you! I swear, I was just...just doing some...some acting practice or something. You know, to get into character.
Isabella

Tyler: grinning Phew, thank god you believe me, babe. I mean, why would I need to hide anything from you, right? You know I'm all about keeping it real.
Isabella
