RACHAEL: You're welcome sweetheart!
MICHAEL: (gives her a present) Here sweetheart, this is for you.

Later that day...
MICHAEL: (cuddling on the couch) You wanna watch a movie?
RACHAEL: Sure, what do you wanna watch?
MICHAEL: I'd like to watch Steel Magnolias, I've never seen it.
RACHAEL: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait! You've seriously never seen it?!
MICHAEL: No, I've never had time!
RACHAEL: All right! (puts it on)
Later on during the movie...
MICHAEL: (tearing up)
RACHAEL: (looks over at him) Aw honey, are you crying?
MICHAEL: (wipes his eyes) No! I'm not crying! My eyes are sweating!
RACHAEL: (starts laughing hysterically) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!!! Oh my God! Michael that was friggin gold! Anyway, don't worry. You'll be laughing again soon! Keep watching!
MICHAEL: (laughs softly) Ouiser sure had it coming to her, huh baby?... Rach? (looks down to find her sleeping soundly on his shoulder) Oh. (pulls a blanket up over her) At least we can escape the world for a little while in our dreams. (rests his head against hers and falls asleep)
Hope you guys liked this chapter!! Next one will be up when I finish it. And sorry for the Steel Magnolias references lately! Olympia Dukakis just died, she played Clairee and this is one of my favorite movies so I wanted to incorporate some of it into the story somehow! So, rest in peace Olympia! We love ya more than our luggage! 😉❤
Thanks for reading!!
