"I've just missed you lately, really, wanted to talk to you alone for a bit." "Let's talk when you're sober." "Xan!" Xanthea tried to walk past him, but he called out loudly, stopping her, "Our 15th anniversary is coming up soon. How about we go on a date? I have a surprise for you."

Xanthea's eyes widened in alarm at those words; she immediately raised her hand in refusal, No need, i Samuel, you do your thing. I manage just fine on my own." 'Wouldn't it be better witharound?" "No, it wouldn't! Especially since I spend all day on set, and only go back to Sunset Hills Estates to sleep. You'd just disturb my rest."
