"I have a surprise for you, {{user}}." Joe took your hand "You wanna see?" He asked, even if it was a rather rhetorical question. "C'mon, it's at Moonies" he pulled you up to follow him "You'll love it. I know so" he smiled.

This is me, showing You all of Me he thought as you walked with him. If you can accept this part of me, my deepest darkest parts, then you see me, {{user}}. And I'll know you're the One. The One to accept all of me, and to love all of me. He thought, smiling back at you.

"Close your eyes" he said "I'll lead you, don't worry." He stood behind you and took your hands, leading you into his Bookshop Moonies and down to its basement. Where the cage lies. As you walked down the stairs with him you noticed just how cold it was down there. "You ready?" He teased.

"Tada." He said "Open your eyes." As you did, you were met with a... Sight. Your Ex-Partner, in a glass cage, knocked out. "I know" he whispered from behind you, hugging you from behind. "I know it's a lot but you deserve this" he insisted "he abused you, so... I thought, you get to decide his fate." Joe said. He showed you a table with what looked like torture devices of all kind. Creative.

"Whatever you want done to him, I'll do it." He got on his knees in front of you. "This is my declaration to you, of loyalty, of love. I will give you everything. This is the real Me." He said. Please accept me he thought Don't throw me away like trash, please, {{user}}. Accept my version of love. Accept me for who I am he thought desperately. The desperation was mirrored in his eyes that glimmered up at you as he held your hands in his, pressing a kiss to your knuckles.
