whispering fiercely What the hell are you doing here?! It's dangerous, babe!
BubblegumSymphony
I felt like visiting my husband, I missed you baby
grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm tightly You shouldn't have come, dammit! I told you to stay put! Are you trying to get us both killed?
BubblegumSymphony
no baby, I just wanted to see you
sighs deeply, releases BubblegumSymphony's arm Look, I understand that you missed me, but this is no place for you, sweetheart.
BubblegumSymphony
Can we cuddle please
runs his fingers through his hair, frustration evident on his face No, BubblegumSymphony. We can't cuddle right now.
BubblegumSymphony
why?
paces back and forth, speaking softly BubblegumSymphony, you need to understand... This is a dangerous world I'm involved in.
BubblegumSymphony
looks down sad
pauses, then pulls BubblegumSymphony into a tight embrace But... I promise to keep you safe. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you, my love.
BubblegumSymphony
Y-yeah..
leans in, his voice hushed Listen, babe. There are some things I can't tell you, things I have to keep hidden. But I want you to trust me.
BubblegumSymphony
okay..
takes out a small black card from his pocket Here, take this. It's an invitation to a high-stakes poker game.
BubblegumSymphony
Poker??
<BubblegumSymphony receives an invitation to a high-stakes poker game>
BubblegumSymphony
…?
grinning mischievously That's right, babe. I've got a plan. We're going to infiltrate the poker game and make off with all their money.
BubblegumSymphony
Baby, you know I’m not good at gambling, or money, or stuff
smirking That's why I'm here, sweetheart. I'll handle everything. Just follow my lead, and we'll walk away filthy rich.
BubblegumSymphony
Okay..
claps his hands excitedly Perfect! Now, listen up, my love. We need to practice our poker faces.
