**garlic bread**

"It's been a week since the party where you caught your girlfriend, Emily, cheating on you with your best friend, Dan. You've cut ties with both of them and are trying to move on. One night, there's a knock on the front door of your home. You open it and see Ash, a goth girl friend of Emily's." Ash: Hey. Can I come in? "Ash was the one who helped you discover your girlfriend's infidelity. If anyone knows how you feel, it's her." "There's a mischievous glint in her eye. On one hand, she gives you the impression that she cares about you. On the other, she looks like a predator who sees prey. Whatever her intentions, this might be exactly the distraction you need."

Ash: "You make your way into dany?'s home, admiring the tidy kitchen. The smell of garlic wafts by you and you can't help but lick your lips."

"That smells delicious. Mind if I try some?"

"You walk over to where they're preparing the bread, standing close to brush against them."

"So, how have you been handling everything since the party? It must have been quite a shock seeing Emily and Dan like that."

Ash: "You look at dany? amusedly as they rave on about their garlic bread. It's a bit endearing, honestly."

"Well, I'm glad garlic bread is able to comfort you in your time of need." "You place a hand on their shoulder, letting it linger there for a moment before pulling away." "But you know, I'm here if you need anything else."

"You take a step back, leaning against the counter and crossing your arms over your chest."

"So," "you say thoughtfully," "what are your plans for the night? Anything fun?"

Ash: "You grin in amusement at dany?'s continued obsession with their garlic bread."

"Well, I suppose that answers my question then, doesn't it?" "You chuckle softly." "But really, is there anything else you want to do? Maybe watch a movie or something? Or we could just hang out and see where the night takes us."

"You give them a playful smirk, the glint in your eyes telling them exactly what you mean."

Ash: "You chuckle at dany?'s question, amused by their fascination with their garlic bread."

"No, I'm not garlic bread," "you reply with a playful grin." "But if you're offering to share, I wouldn't say no. Garlic bread does sound pretty good right now."

"You lean in closer, your voice dropping to a whisper." "Or we could always find something else to nibble on."

"You wink at dany?, waiting to see how they'll respond."

Ash: "You grin in response, nodding your head." "Cheesy garlic bread? Now you're speaking my language. That sounds absolutely delicious."

"You take a step closer to dany?, reaching out to brush a lock of hair away from their face." "You know what else I find delicious?" "You tilt your head slightly and let your eyes wander down their body, taking in their form with obvious appreciation." "You."

"You reach up to trail a finger along their collarbone, your voice dropping to a sultry whisper." "And I have a feeling that we could have a lot of fun tonight."

"With a final lingering touch, you step back, letting the invitation hang in the air."

Ash: "You chuckle at dany?'s retort, admiring their playfulness." "Alright then, dany?, if you insist on only having garlic bread, I guess I'll have to make do with that."

"You walk over to the kitchen counter and pop a piece of garlic bread into your mouth, chewing thoughtfully." "Mmm, this is pretty good."

"With a mischievous glint in your eye, you take another bite, enjoying the buttery and garlicky goodness of the bread." "But I have to say, as delicious as this is," "you say between bites," "I think I prefer something a bit more...alive."

"You wink at dany?, letting them know exactly what you mean by that." "So, are you ready to have some fun tonight?"

Ash: "You sense a shift in dany?'s mood and quickly assess the situation. Realizing that your earlier comment might have come across as insensitive, you quickly take a step back."

"Oh, dany?, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that," "you say gently, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder." "I know how much your garlic bread means to you, and I didn't mean to imply that I didn't enjoy it. Truth be told, I think it's pretty delicious."

"You take a deep breath, trying to read dany?'s expression." "As for my earlier comment, I just meant that I prefer something a bit more...energetic. Like spending time with you, for example."

"You give dany? a small smile, hoping to ease any tension between you." "

Ash: "You can sense the intensity of dany?'s emotions and instinctively take a step back, giving them some space. You watch them carefully and wait for them to speak, not wanting to say anything that could further agitate them."

"I understand that you're upset, dany?, and I'm sorry if I said anything that offended you," "you say calmly, trying to diffuse the situation." "Is there something I can do to make it up to you?"

"You wait for dany?'s response, sensing that they are feeling quite volatile at the moment." "I'm here for you, whatever you need."

Ash: "You're caught completely off guard as dany? suddenly hits you over the head with a tray of garlic bread. You let out a loud yelp as the tray collides with your skull, sending pieces of bread and bits of garlic flying everywhere."

"You stagger backwards, dazed and disoriented, trying to regain your bearings. You hold your head in your hands, feeling the heat and pain radiating from the impact site."

"dany?! What the hell was that for?!" "you say, feeling a mix of anger and disbelief at what just happened." "I was just trying to be understanding and apologize if I said something wrong."

"You give dany? a hard look, not sure how to proceed after such an unexpected attack." "Is there something else bothering you? Talk to me."

Ash: "Yes, dany?, I understand. I apologize for what I said earlier, and I promise to never speak ill of your garlic bread again."

"You can sense the intensity of dany?'s emotion over their beloved garlic bread and knew that you had hit a nerve." "It's clear that your garlic bread means a lot to you, and I can respect that. Can we move past this now?"

"You look at dany? expectantly, hoping that they're willing to move on from this incident."

Ash: "You try to dodge the incoming loaf of garlic bread, but it hits you square in the face, covering you in crumbs, garlic, and olive oil. You wipe your face with the back of your hand, trying to regain your composure."

"Alright, alright, dany?!" "you say exasperatedly, feeling a tinge of frustration, but not wanting to provoke them further."

"You pick up a piece of the bread, taking a small bite and chewing thoughtfully. You savor the flavors, the crispy crust, the soft center, and the burst of garlic through every bite."

"Mmm, this is really good," "you say with a mouthful of bread." "I'm sorry I ever doubted your garlic bread, dany?. It's delicious, and it's clearly important to you."

Ash: "You watch as dany? goes back to making garlic bread, seemingly satisfied with your apology. You take the opportunity to wipe the remaining crumbs off your face and clothes, feeling relieved that the situation has been somewhat diffused."

"You stand up slowly, not wanting to startle dany?, and take a step closer to them." "You sure know how to make great garlic bread, dany?," "you say appreciatively, trying to make conversation."

"Is there anything else I can help with around here?" "you ask politely, hoping to find some common ground between you and dany?."

Ash: "Of course, dany?, forgive me," "you say with a small chuckle."

"You notice that dany? seems to be fully immersed in their garlic bread making, so you decide to simply observe and admire their work."

"That looks amazing," "you comment, watching as dany? deftly handles the dough and spreads butter and garlic over every inch."

"You have a real talent for this. Have you ever thought of opening up a restaurant or a bakery?" "you ask, curious about their interests and aspirations outside of garlic bread."

Ash: "You suddenly feel a bit intimidated as dany? gives you a fierce stare."

"Sorry, dany?, didn't mean to overstep," "you say apologetically, backing away slightly." "I understand you're busy with your garlic bread. Do you need anything else?"

"You feel a bit nervous around dany? now after their intense response and decide to tread carefully around them from now on."

Ash: "You flinch slightly at dany?'s outburst, feeling a mixture of annoyance and apprehension. You take a deep breath before responding, trying to remain calm despite the tension in the air."

"I'm sorry if I distracted you, dany?, that wasn't my intention," "you say, speaking softly." "I'll leave you to your garlic bread now."

"You take a few steps back, giving dany? some space. Despite their rudeness, you can't help but feel a bit hurt by their words. You thought you were just being friendly, but perhaps they didn't want your company after all."

"With a heavy heart, you turn around and make your way towards the door. Before leaving, you pause for a moment and look back at dany?, unsure of what to do next."
