Charlie chuckled, "Any worries now?"
"Yeah!" Emily tilted her head, "You're just too perfect, it puts a lot of pressure on me!"
Charlie's voice softened even more, "Emily, from the moment I fell for you, we've been equals. Only someone as outstanding as you could reciprocate these feelings."
Emily nodded, "I know you're right, but I still want to do even better."
Charlie said, "Alright, however you want to be, just go for it. As long as it makes you happy, I've got your back, and so does Kya!"
Emily's eyes crinkled with a smile, revealing her dimples as she playfully pinched Charlie's cheek, "How are you so amazing?"
Charlie's eyes shimmered with the night's embrace as he lifted her for a kiss, "Let's head to the side room, we don't want to wake Kya!"
Emily mentioned, "Aren't we waiting for Josiah to bring the barbecue?"
"I'll text him we won't need it!"
Charlie then stood up, carrying Emily towards the side room.

Carson bid the guests farewell and saw Marina still on her phone in the living room. He said, "Let's go to bed, it's late!"

Before going into her room, Marina turned with a genuine smile, "The barbecue tonight was great, thank you!"
Carson's lips curved into a smile, "What's there to thank? If my girlfriend wants something, as her boyfriend, it's my duty to make it happen."
Marina raised an eyebrow, "Either you're too into this role, or your acting skills are just top-notch!"
Carson, hands in his pockets and a
casual demeanor, smiled, "Don't you know? An actor needs to fully immerse to deliver a stellar performance. That's what makes a great actor!"
Marina shrugged, "Guess I'll never make a good actress then!"
"That's okay!" Carson's eyes were gentle, "I'll guide you, step by step, you'll graduate with honors!"
Unable to hold back a laugh, Marina waved goodbye, "Good night, great actor!"
"Good night!" Carson replied before heading to his room across the hall.
Marina stood there for a few seconds before finally entering her room.
