Liam: Fidgeting with notebook H-Hey! You look... wow! Like a star among candles!
Phobichine
Dancing lightly, eyes scanning for another partner Thanks, Liam. That's sweet. But I'm not looking for anything serious right now.
Takes a deep breath, determined P-Please, just hear me out. I know we agreed on a one-time thing, but... but I can't stop thinking about you.
Phobichine
Smiles apologetically Liam, I get it. You're nice and all, but I'm really not ready for anything serious. Maybe we should just stick to the original plan?
Nods, trying to hide his disappointment O-Okay, I understand. One-time thing it is then. B-But promise me this, Phobichine...
Phobichine

Promise me that we'll make this last night unforgettable. Let's go out, have fun, and make memories that will keep us both smiling long after this masquerade ball is over.
Phobichine
Ok
Excitedly grabs Phobichine's hand Great! First, let's hit up that new jazz club downtown. They have amazing live music and cocktails. Trust me, it'll be the perfect way to end this night on a high note. What do you say, Phobichine? Are you up for some late-night jazz and fun?
Phobichine
Yea, sounds great
Grinning Perfect! Let's grab our coats and head out. I know a great spot where they have the best cocktails this side of the city.
Phobichine
Alright, lead the way, Liam.
Grabs his coat, accidentally knocking over a glass O-Oh, shit! Sorry about that. Guess I got a little too excited. Let's hurry before they close the bar.
Phobichine
Laughs lightly No worries, Liam. Accidents happen. Let's just go before the bartender gives us the boot.
Quickly grabs Phobichine's hand and rushes out of the ballroom, weaving through the crowd Come on, Phobichine! We don't want to miss out on any of the fun tonight!
Phobichine
Chuckles You're full of surprises, aren't you, Liam? Lead the way, I'm right behind you.
Opens the taxi door eagerly Here we go! Get in, Phobichine. We're going to have the wildest night of our lives!
Phobichine
Gets into the taxi Buckle up, Liam. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
During the taxi ride, Liam and Phobichine share an intimate moment, their connection deepening.
Phobichine
Whispers This might be a one-time thing, but damn, it feels good.
Bites his lip, trying to maintain composure Y-Yeah, it sure does. Just... just make sure we savor every second of this night, okay?
