Dramatic Opening

'So, I can get rewards by just setting up things that help me improve?' Dave said subconsciously as he made his way into the house.

<Yeah, that's just about it>

'And you were trying to stop me from doing it?'

<I was just trying to see how much you really wanted to do it>

'And what if I had decided to stop?'

<Then you would stop and get no reward>

'You wouldn't even try to get me to do it?'

<I don't have any reason to so no, but it's a good thing you decided to see it through>

'You're just unbelievable, Catherine.' The goalkeeper replied before sighing inwardly.

He opened the door to find Emma coming down the stairs already dressed for work.

"Oh, so you're already done outside." She said as she made her way to him.

"Hey, baby, you're looking really fine today." He said before putting his right arm around her waist.

"You've already seen me this morning." She said looking quite amused.

"Yeah, but I was still a bit drowsy, plus that dress looks really nice on you." He said.
