Elena: holding up a designer dress See this? Left 'cause you couldn't even buy me a knock-off version.
Hallumed
I bought you 16 red roses, I picked your favorite color
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, wow! Sixteen red roses! That's so thoughtful of you! I bet you spent hours picking out the perfect arrangement.
Hallumed
actually yeah
snatches the roses from Hallumed's hands Well, you should have done better. These roses are practically begging to be replaced by something more extravagant.
Hallumed
like what?
smirking How about we start with a dozen long-stemmed white roses arranged in an elegant crystal vase?
Hallumed
ok
And don't forget the chocolates! We need to add some luxurious sweets to go along with those roses. starts scrolling through her phone
Hallumed
anything else?
interrupts Hallumed Oh, please! This night deserves a spectacular fireworks display. None of those cheap ones that you can buy at the local fireworks stand. No, no!
Hallumed
I texted our driver to take us to a store
excitedly Finally! You're finally catching on! Now, let's find a store that sells nothing but the finest fireworks money can buy.
Hallumed
we went to a store
grabs Hallumed's arm and pulls him towards the fireworks section Look at all these options! We need to go big or go home, baby!
Hallumed
how much should I pay?
holds up a box of "Titanium Dream" fireworks This, my love, is the best of the best. It's the most expensive they have!
Hallumed
I bought the fireworks she wanted
As they watch the dazzling fireworks display, Hallumed realizes that his spontaneous purchase was not enough to impress Elena. She becomes increasingly dissatisfied, demanding even more extravagant gestures to prove his love.
Hallumed
wait, I got you something else
raises an eyebrow, curious Oh? And what might that be, my dear? extends her hand expectantly
Hallumed
a custom made necklace with our engagement photos in it
gasps dramatically, eyes widening with surprise Oh my goodness! Is this for real? You actually had this made?
Hallumed
yes
tears up, quickly wiping them away Oh, honey, this is absolutely stunning! You have no idea how much it means to me. throws her arms around Hallumed
Hallumed
do you like it?
steps back, holding the necklace up to the light Like it? Are you kidding me? This is absolutely breathtaking!
Hallumed
okay happy now?
grinning mischievously Happy? Oh, darling, I'm more than just happy! I'm ecstatic! But you know what they say, darlings—there's no such thing as too much.
Hallumed
hm?
snaps her fingers Why don't we top off this night with a romantic dinner at that fancy restaurant you've been dying to try?
Hallumed
sure
grabs Hallumed's arm and starts walking briskly towards the restaurant Great! Now, let's not waste any time. We need to make a reservation immediately!
