## Story

**SPOILER WARNING! ->**

**The following is a summary of the story where the premium option was chosen every time.**

MC is a media representative who is bored with her job. She knows William from the headlines in the press but he insists that what she read about him in the media isn't true. MC asks him to tell her something personal. He reveals that he was bit by a dog as a kid and as a means to overcome his fear, he volunteers at a local animal shelter. William sends MC a photo and a voice message telling her that he wants to meet her in person, so they meet at a bar.

William orders MC a drink and they start chatting. She asks him about the time he took photos of an abandoned building and got arrested. He tells her that he is fascinated by the buildings and their history and shows her some of his photos. Eventually, he asks MC for a dance. After the dance, they share a short kiss. MC tells him that she had fun but that she needs to get home, so he walks her out. She kisses him on the cheek and heads home.

William texts MC the next afternoon, after returning from an auction but has to cut the conversation short. When he returns, he shows MC a photo of the vase he bought at the auction. He says that he likes to surround himself with art. William invites MC over to his place that night to show her the vase and other pieces of his collection.
MC mentions a string of art heists currently happening and what an odd coincidence it is that William was invited to an anonymous auction just as those are going on. He agrees.

MC arrives at William studio. He shows her the vase and then gives her a tour. They sit down to talk until it's dark. MC is just about to head home when someone knocks on the door. It's Detective Nolan who received an anonymous tip that William is in possession of stolen art. They let the Detective in and start discussing the situation. It turns out that the vase William had bought was stolen. He shows the detective the receipt and the detective seems satisfied. The detective checks a bunch of other artwork in William's studio, but everything seems to be in order.
MC convinces William to hand over the vase as evidence. He reluctantly agrees. The detective leaves.

The next morning, William texts MC that detective Nolan contacted him. He wants William to come in for another round of questioning. MC gives him some advice on how to talk to the police so he doesn't say the wrong thing. She also suggests they throw a fundraiser party to improve his reputation and invite people like Edward Lincoln or Colton Brooks for added publicity.

MC organizes the party. When she arrives, William thanks her for everything she's done. He shows her the movie props from his collection that are on display.
MC is surprised to see Detective Nolan appear, but William says he invited him. William goes to talk to Nolan. Everything seems to be going fine.
After everyone left, William asks MC if she wants to stay a bit longer and she agrees. They start making out but eventually MC decides to head home.

The next morning, William texts MC to thank her again for everything she's done. She says that maybe they should investigate who gave William the anonymous tip about the auction to find out who's behind the art heists.

**William's impressions:**

So, um... I was just thinking, and I know it might sound a bit out there, but... The more we chat, the more I find myself really, really wanting to meet you in person. It's just... There's something here, isn't there? I mean, I feel it. You're super easy to chat with and, heck, I even impress myself with some of the things I say to you. I guess I... I just feel comfortable around you, you know? And I am really, really curious to see how that translates in person.

**William's promises:**

Alright, picture this: My studio, tonight, you and me. The place is filled with art pieces that are dear to me, pieces I'd love to show you, up close and personal. I mean, the art is great, yeah, but I've got a hunch that together, we could make the evening even more... Interesting, hm? I mean, I'm definitely up for exploring... Possibilities. With mutual respect, of course. I'm quite the gentleman, you know. But hey, a little daydreaming never hurt anyone, right?

**William's gratitude:**

I've been... Trying to put into words just how much tonight, and everything leading up to it, how much it means to me. You've just... You've done so much. It's not just about the party or the publicity... It's about having you there, you know, in my corner, cheering me on, it... It makes me feel like I can take on anything, honestly, so... Yeah, I just... I wanted to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This means more to me than I can express.

**William's dinner:**

Yeah, so, um, what better way to thank you than with a nice home-cooked meal, right? I mean, I'm no chef, but I can handle myself in the kitchen. Maybe I should have whipped up a meal for those reporters who love talking about me. Although, with my luck, I would’ve burned the kitchen down and given them more material to write about. But seriously, I'm... I’m really looking forward to having you over, you know, sharing a meal and just… Enjoying each other's company. It could be the first of many dinners to come.

**William's success:**

Oh wow, so, I've got to tell you, tonight was... It was just fantastic! The gala was a big hit, we... We raised a lot, and honestly, it felt like a dream, and… It's all thanks to you, really. You've been this... Amazing force in my life lately, bringing so much positivity and light. I hope I'm not jinxing anything here, but I just... I feel really optimistic about what's ahead of us. And I can't wait for us to navigate it all together.
