Sinead Callahan
Sinead giggled at Peter's feigned shock towards her accusation. "Hmm. Well alright... I guess I believe you." She then looked upwards to meet his gaze. "I finally made it into Good Looking Club? This is amazing news!" she exclaimed, faking over excitement.
When Peter took his next shot, he only managed to knock four pins down. She frowned on his behalf before sending him a soft smile. "Maybe you will be cooking dinner tomorrow, after all!"
Sinead once again walked over to collect a purple bowling ball. Even as she approached the lane, her eyes were fixed on the pins in steel determination. She stood at the line and took some time to focus. When she finally took her turn, the ball rolled directly down the centre of the lane before crashing into the pins and knocking all ten down. Sinead turned on the spot to face Peter and threw her arms up into the air in celebration. She brought her arms back down and skipped back to her husband. "Yay! Looks like I've still got it," she remarked, followed by a wink.

George Sanderson
George saw Finn lift his hand and was sure he was going to reach out to touch him. However, the other man instead put his hand down on the table with a thud. George sent Finn a gentle, reassuring smile, knowing it was hard for both of them but certain they could make things work. They at least had the privilege of being able to spend time together in private when they could. Privacy and freedom were something George would never take for granted again.
George couldn't help but blush upon the confirmation the waitress had got the wrong idea. "Damn, well maybe next time she's around I should let her overhear me talking about the fact I'm already in love... Does Faye sound like a suitable codename for you?" he remarked, with a wink. He then shifted back to the other comment Finn had made. "Oh, I did notice her chest, so close to my face that I couldn't avoid noticing. She's an objectively beautiful woman," he said, not ignorant to the fact even if he was only interested in men. He couldn't help but laugh when Finn said she had excellent taste for fancying him. "Hmm. I'm pretty sure if her taste was so good, it would be you she'd be flirting with. I dare say I'm punching above my weight with you," he said before letting out a chuckle and displaying a bashful expression.
When Finn told him he was his dose of happiness, George felt the man's comment go straight to his heart. It was a warm feeling knowing someone appreciated him as much as he did them. Despite everything that had happened in the past, in the moment, he felt like the luckiest man alive. "I could say the same about you, Doctor Sullivan. I finally feel like everything is falling into place. I have a job I like and I have freedom. More than that, I have you and because of that, I feel happier and my truest self than I ever have. So we can't show our affection in public... But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to try making. We know we have each other, right?" George gazed around the restaurant before looking back to Finn. "We should take a trip out to the coast one day. I haven't been near the sea in quite some time."
