Elena: Laughs Oh dear! You and your patriotic quirks! Let's try to blend in, shall we?
SunshineJourney
Okay. I’ll try.
Elena smiles, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Elena: Oh, don't worry, my love. Just follow my lead. We'll make a perfect, cosmopolitan couple tonight. Remember, it's all about exuding confidence and charm.
SunshineJourney
oh sorry it was rude i apologize
Elena rolls her eyes playfully. Elena: You're forgiven, but please, try to keep up with the cultural norms. We're in Paris, honey, not Texas.
SunshineJourney
“Yea I’m sorry.” I say quietly still feeling like an outcast among Europeans.
Elena, noticing your unease, gently takes your hand and squeezes it reassuringly. Elena: Softly Relax, darling. You're fine. Just follow my lead, and we'll fit right in. Trust me.
SunshineJourney
holds up my phone that says happy anniversary on it
Elena glances at your phone, her expression softening as she realizes the significance of the message. She gently touches the screen, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. Elena: Ah, our anniversary. It seems we've been so caught up in these lavish events that we almost forgot.
SunshineJourney
I know. that’s why I was asking you if you wanted some ice cream.
She rolls her eyes with a smirk, enjoying your attempt to redeem yourself. Elena: Ah, ice cream. Now that's a more reasonable request. But first, let's finish this conversation about America.
SunshineJourney
I mean our family came from there so it’s my way of keeping traditions alive.
Elena rolls her eyes playfully, amused by your tradition-bound behavior.
Elena: Ah, yes, the old country! Well, darling, sometimes blending in is part of keeping traditions alive too, you know. We're in Paris, the city of love and fashion, not Independence Day.
SunshineJourney
I kiss your hand softly and gently whisper in your ear. Let’s go home and have fun.
A sly smile forms on Elena's face as she feels your soft kiss on her hand, and her eyes gleam with mischief. Elena: Oh, so eager to get home, darling? I like that. Lead the way, my love.
SunshineJourney
I just wanted to make sure we both knew where we were honey I say as we enter the restaurant
Elena rolls her eyes playfully as she glances around the elegant setting. Elena: Trust me, darling. I know exactly where we are. This is one of the most exclusive restaurants in Paris. The crème de la crème of society gathers here. Let's just hope they don't find out about your... patriotism.
SunshineJourney
Yeah babe. Sorry it’s just..I’m not used to being here yet.
Smirks, taking a sip of champagne
Don't worry, darling. You'll fit right in once you get used to this world. But for now, let's just play the part, shall we?
Looks around the room, spotting a few familiar faces
Oh, there's the CEO of that luxury watch brand. And those two are members of the royal family. Let's make our rounds.
SunshineJourney
What does that mean?
She rolls her eyes, adjusting her designer earrings. It means that you're drawing too much attention to us with your 'God bless America' comment. We're supposed to be fitting in with the Parisian elite, not sticking out like sore thumbs.
SunshineJourney
no baby let me do this it’s good luck
She rolls her eyes but can't help but find your enthusiasm amusing. Elena: Alright, alright. You go ahead. But don't embarrass me, darling.
SunshineJourney
I'm sorry. I just wanted to say hi.
Elena rolls her eyes but can't help smiling at your innocence. She takes a sip of her champagne and replies, "Well, you certainly know how to make an entrance, don't you?"
SunshineJourney
ok but I love my country. I am proud to be an American
Elena rolls her eyes, slightly annoyed by your patriotism. Elena: Oh, honey, it's just a fancy party in Paris. Can't you tone down the 'Merica love for one night? We're supposed to be sophisticated international businesspeople, remember?
SunshineJourney
I look down at my outfit
Elena notices your gaze and follows it to your outfit. Elena: What's wrong? Don't like your attire?
SunshineJourney
okay but if anyone ask me I will say god blessing America
Rolls her eyes, a mix of amusement and annoyance on her face Elena: You're so stubborn, darling. But fine, do whatever makes you feel good. Just don't embarrass me in front of these people.
SunshineJourney
takes off wig revealing I’m a male
Taken aback by your unexpected revelation, Elena raises an eyebrow and looks at you with a mix of surprise and annoyance.
Elena: Well, well, well... What do we have here? A little surprise, huh?
SunshineJourney
Yes my love. I’m sorry if my comment offended you.
Elena rolls her eyes playfully, still maintaining her composure. No need to apologize, darling. I just find it amusing how you can't help but let your patriotism shine through, even in the most elegant settings. It's endearing, really.
SunshineJourney
why did you get married to me then huh?
Elena glances at you, her expression a mix of amusement and annoyance. Elena: With a hint of sarcasm Oh, I don't know... maybe it was because you're charmingly naive and your patriotism adds a touch of quirkiness to our relationship.
SunshineJourney
Ok ok I'll stop I smile and take a sip of my champagne
Elena chuckles and takes a sip of her own champagne, her slender fingers holding the delicate glass.
Elena: You know, dear, sometimes it's endearing how oblivious you can be. But let's keep up appearances, shall we? We're among the crème de la crème here.
