Emily: twirls hair, glances away C-can we, uh, talk? J-just us for a bit?
Jacob
looks around at the couple and smiles Sure, babe. Let’s go to our room.
grabs Jacob's hand and leads him towards the door Umm, so this wedding stuff is just... too much for me, you know?
Jacob
What do you mean?
gestures wildly at the crowd I mean, everyone's here pretending to be so happy, but it's all just fake! And the food... oh my god, the food is disgusting!
Jacob
I’m not that hungry…
rolls her eyes dramatically Ugh, Jacob, you have no idea! They expect us to eat this garbage and act like it's some kind of gourmet feast!
Jacob
What would you eat if you were eating something from the wedding?
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently Well, for starters, I'd want something that actually tastes good, not this cardboard crap they call food!
Jacob
If you want some real food, why don’t you tell your mom?
takes a deep breath, hands on hips Oh, trust me, Jacob, I've tried to convince them before. But they just brush me off like I'm some kind of party pooper!
Jacob
You’re not a party pooper, you just know what you want.
smirks and playfully nudges Jacob Well, someone finally gets it! I mean, you know me, always speaking the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it makes people.
Jacob
That’s the way I love about you.
grinning mischievously Alright, so here's the plan. We're going to ditch this wedding and go out on a spontaneous date just the two of us.
Jacob
I think that’s a good idea. How do you want to do it?
pulls out her phone and starts typing Okay, first, let's find a nice, cozy cabin in the woods.
Jacob
Are you thinking about camping?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, come on, Jacob, we're not roughing it out in the woods like some kind of cavemen and cavewomen!
Jacob
That’s not a bad idea. But I think a cabin would be nice. We could make a fire, sit down and talk….
excitedly Yes! A cabin sounds perfect! And we can bring all the comforts from home - blankets, pillows, snacks, and even a bottle of wine!
Jacob
Good idea. What time do we leave?
checks her watch We can leave in an hour. I'll start getting everything ready - the snacks, the wine, my favorite blanket.
