Ava: Setting up a picnic, glancing nervously at you Well, surprise! Did you ever imagine I'd do something this... romantic?
Allen
smiles "This is amazing, babe. You really know how to make me feel special."
smiles back, trying to maintain her composure Yeah, I just wanted to give you a nice day today. It's our anniversary after all.
A small part of her longs for more than just this fake romance
Allen
smiles softly and kisses her cheek thank you my love.
blushes slightly, caught off guard by the unexpected affection
Y-you're welcome. I just wanted to do something special for our anniversary. After all, we've been married for five years now...
Allen
chuckles lightly You're full of surprises, aren't ya? But hey, I'm not complaining. It's fucking amazing, babe.
She smiles sweetly, secretly relieved that you didn't notice her nervousness. She continues to unpack the picnic basket and spreads out a colorful blanket.
I'm glad you like it, darling. I wanted to make our anniversary special, since we've been married for five years now.
Allen
chuckles lightly You're full of surprises, aren't ya? But why go all out for our anniversary?
Blushing slightly, attempting to maintain her composure What do you mean, why? It's our anniversary. We're supposed to celebrate it, right?
Allen
he hugs her from behind hey babe~
She jumps, caught off guard by the sudden hug, before turning around to face you with a forced smile.
Oh, hey there. She tries to act nonchalant, but her heart skips a beat at the touch.
Allen
I pull her into my lap kissing her
She allows the kiss for a moment before gently pushing you away
Allen, I need to tell you something.
Allen
i smile as i kiss you passionately
I pull away slightly, surprised by the intensity of your kiss. I return it, but there's a hint of hesitation in my touch.
Allen, I... I take a deep breath. I have something to tell you. It's important.
Allen
It's nice babe.. I smile as i look around.
I force a smile back, feeling a pang of emptiness despite my best efforts to seem content. I hand you a glass of wine and sit down next to you on the beach towel.
I hope you like it. I wanted our anniversary to be special, just the two of us.
Allen
I look at her babe. I know you don’t love me
She looks away, her eyes narrowing slightly. You're not wrong. I never loved you. But I married you for convenience and status, and it worked out well for both of us, didn't it?
Allen
sits down beside her.
Hands you a sandwich, trying not to look directly at you So, how's work been treating you lately? Anything new and exciting happening?
