Fortunately, Bob had already done the 'hard' part - and come to see, that the Future would be better - with Allie ! ✨
He remained… firm, even now, in his rather big and massive goals - to become a Genetic Success and to achieve World Domination - which had gradually evolved from his earlier, more literal approach to a now more Life-Affirming, wholistic one, aiming to make the World a 'Better Place' for Everyone [which naturally would also include himself 🫢✨]
At the same time, Bob had also come to realise that his Plans naturally needed to involve other People in order for a higher chance of Success. Having studied increasingly deeply into the Arts of Rizz, he accordingly believed in Win-Wins, and a synergistic, 1+1= 3 or more approach to life and relationships.
That said, owing to the finite nature of Time and Resources in Life, it was important to invest one's energy and efforts in a way that would lead to the best results - best of course being dependent on one's beliefs and ideas and measures of Success ✨
After getting to know Allie better, simply put, Bob believed that their relationship was 100% worth investing in more… and he was absolutely excited for what might be in store 🤭✨.
Spray and Pray. Spray and Stay. Spray and Slay. Indeed. Just when we had thought we had done away… with Bob's three-pronged array… [first mentioned in Chapter 15] it was clearly time for these… seminal phrases to leap back into the fray.
"Allie… it's okay ✨You don't have to decide everything today. Just know that I mean what I say ✨"
"I mean that even though I know we're fine Alone… over time, our relationship [amongst other things 👀✨] has grown✨🌻"
"And now I believe that things are even Better… Together ✨ "
"I mean romantically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, as two happy, healthy, Conscious beings… Together ✨💖🤭🌻"
"If you also believe that's true… then that is what I want to do - to Create a "Better Together" that we Both Choose…"
"…Where 1+1 doesn't just equal 2, but instead, 3 or more 🫢✨"
[At this point, Bob and Allie's interlaced hands happen to be gently supporting around Allie's waist area, so as not to 'waste' the sneaky double meaning that is implied, and which causes many in the Audience to become speechless and tongue-tied, even as others continue to be fried… by this aside.]
[You're welcome ! As always, nothing is set or decided yet, although increasingly people might begin to place their bets 👀✨]
