“Only if you want to, sweetheart. But classic movies are always a good idea” the man replied with a soft smile. For someone like Klaus, who spent most of his time at bars or private events, it was a difficult task to avoid the obvious pastimes, but since the beginning of the night, he had been seeking ways to make his time with Emily meaningful. Even if it meant putting aside his controlling nature for a few hours and allowing the woman lead the way. Klaus had already been through two divorces, he knew the feeling of grieving the loss of a person still living, and truth be told, he didn’t like seeing Emily alone or drowning her sorrows in random bars. She has always been full of life and that was how he wanted her to remain "It’s not a secret that I’m easily persuaded by you, so if you told me you wanted to go to fucking Coney Island, I would" admitted, and it was something few could say about him.
“It wasn’t a suggestion, by the way, just to make it clear" the man said in a playful tone, raising his hands defensively, offering another smile before carefully spinning his dance partner one more time "My point is, I’m glad you’re here. Going out alone has been stressful due to the recent circumstances, the video and all” he admitted, though it was a subject he tried to avoid, all the pressure made it impossible to pretend it never happened.
"I love classic movies." It was true, but few people knew about this passion of hers. It was a side of her that she showed to select people, and only those closest to her knew it, and it wasn't all that surprising that Klaus was one of the people who did. "I didn't know I had such power over you, Mr. Diedrich. You shouldn't say things like that to me, because I would take advantage." She laughed at her joke and leaned her head on his shoulder, grateful for the way he made her feel...good.
"The video means nothing. People will forget about it the moment some juicier gossip pops up.” She lifted her head and looked Klaus in the eye, reinforcing her words with a look. She believed what she was saying. New York never changed, and with a little more luck, the bored socialite's gaze would be diverted from another juicy scandal and the spotlight would shift to another hot spot. Still, she understood Klaus and wanted to help him, just as he helped her not only now, but almost every time she needed someone by her side. “And besides everything you should know I am on your side. If you want to stay at home and hide, I would come with you. Well, okay I wouldn’t. I would find a way to make you go out using my newfound power.” she tried to cheer him up.
