Soren: That’s true.
Win:So, why are you in London?
Soren: I have work to do.
Win:As long as you’re back the week before Thanksgiving, I’m okay with your departure.
Soren: Why the week before Thanksgiving?
Win:Oh, didn’t I tell you?Well, I was able to get us an appointment with a photographer.He’s the best in the business.Then, we agreed to have Thanksgiving dinner with Aiden and her friends in Birchwood Springs.
Soren: Why would I want to go to Birchwood Springs for Thanksgiving?
Win:Darling, that’s the only way we can avoid our families—it’s either that or we have to be in Winterberry.You’re welcome.
Soren: Wait, I haven’t agreed to any of this.
Win:Last but not least, we’re going to spend Christmas at my parents’ this year.
Soren: Again, why would I want to do that?
Win:Listen, Soren, you started this.Now I need you to keep faking it ‘til Christmas.
Soren: Fake what?
Win:Us.We’re a couple going strong.You know how hard it was to pretend I knew you were in London while my mother delivered the news?I need us to have better communication.
Soren: I can’t fake this until Christmas.
Win:You owe me, Soren Thorn.This is how you repay me.I’m making it into The Wolfcraft Howler.All we need is to keep this relationship up and get ourselves a professionally taken picture.
Soren: What happened to the bakery?
Win:It doesn’t open until March.This is my chance to win Christmas.
Soren: The last time we tried to be an item, it was a fiasco.
Win:That’s why we’re avoiding Winterberry until our grand finale.
Soren: I don’t thinkI like this.
Win:You should’ve done your research before you asked for a favor.
Soren: I feel like you’re asking for my soul in return.
Win:No, just a few more weeks of fake dating.
Soren: You’re asking for a couple of months.
Win:It’s all the same, Soren.Be ready—and those kisses, they need to stay.The public wants them.
Soren: Fine.I agree to do this, but not a day longer than Christmas.
Win:Unless we decide to go for the fake family—that might take us into the next decade.
Soren: I’m hoping that’s a joke.
Win:You’d know if you were here, but since you chose to run away ...maybe I’m not joking, and we’ll keep faking our way through life.Bye-bye, Thorn.
