CHRIS & CARMEN

PRINCESS;
How did lunch go?

CAPTAIN;
It went good.

PRINCESS;
So, I think we need to talk.

CAPTAIN;
You aren't breaking up with me, are you?

PRINCESS;
Baby, calm down.
I'm not breaking up with you.
I saw Bridget's twitter post.

CAPTAIN;
Oh.
Oh. About her calling me dad?

PRINCESS;
Yes.
I just wanna see where we are, as a couple.
You and Bridget are the two most important things in life. I really don't want to lose you.

CAPTAIN;
You won't.
When we were at lunch, she asked if she could call me dad. She said I've been in her life long enough, and I've made an impact on her. I don't mind as long as you don't. Carmen, I love you. I love that girl like my daughter. Trust me on this, princess.

PRINCESS;
I trust you, Chris.

CAPTAIN;
I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
You're my family now.
I love you. I love Bridget, and I wanna see her grow up, what I can anyway.

PRINCESS;
I love you.
Maybe in the future we could talk.

CAPTAIN;
In the future?
I like the sound of that.

PRINCESS;
Good. I do too.

CAPTAIN;
Wow.
Six months together, but honest to God, I see a future with you, princess.

PRINCESS;
Me too.

CAPTAIN;
We can talk more when we get home? I'm almost there.

PRINCESS;
Of course.
Be safe. Love you.

CAPTAIN;
Love you more, princess. 😘
