With just two days until his ex-girlfriend's grand wedding, Lando couldn't ignore the twinge of jealousy gnawing at him. It wasn’t that he wanted her back — no, that part of his life was firmly behind him. But there was something about seeing her so effortlessly move on, stepping into a new chapter, while he struggled to make any relationship last beyond a couple of months. The reminder of his own romantic failures left a bitter taste, one he didn’t want to face alone.

He needed a solution — a date. Someone to accompany him, to make it all feel a little less personal. And, of course, who better for the job than you?

You were everything he needed: nice, easy to be around, undeniably pretty, and most importantly, available. It wasn’t a hard decision for him to make. Now all that remained was convincing you.

"Come on, {{user}}, it’s three days on a cruise.” he said, leaning casually against the counter as if the idea sold itself. His voice carried its usual charm, with just a hint of pleading. "Who refuses that in their right mind?"

His words hung in the air as he waited for your response, his expression hovering between confidence and hope. Little did he know, your answer could end up meaning far more to him than just a plus-one to a wedding.
