A gentle breeze drifted in through the window, cooling the warmth that had enveloped us. The rest of the drive was shrouded in silence. When the car finally stopped at the restaurant, Remington had managed to regain his composure, though the unspoken tension Keith's restaurant was unmistakably a haven for couples. The tranquil setting, private booths, and an abundance of mood lighting and romantic flowers created an intimate atmosphere. The sofa in front of the dining table was particularly noteworthy-plush, adorned with vibrant throw pillows, and spacious enough to suggest it was designed for couples to lounge comfortably during their meal.
As Lizetta entered the booth, she couldn't shake the feeling that this restaurant was trying a bit too hard to be charming. She caught Remington's equally surprised expression as he took in the surroundings before turning to her. "If you're not fond of Keith's place, we can go somewhere else?" Remington suggested.

"I adore her. Very much so," Remington admitted in a deep, resonant voice, prompting Lizetta to awkwardly set her glass down.
"Yay, correct answer! Now you can

its head spinning with joy before turning back to Lizetta with its eyes shaped like hearts. "Lovely lady the quiet of the night, when loneliness creeps in, do you find yourself thinking of the handsome and deeply affectionate gentleman beside you?"
Lizetta was taken aback. Even robots were getting cheeky now! Biting her lip in frustration, she declared, "I'd like to change my answer to the previous question!"
