Allison Quin Austin

Samantha Carter
You were amazing, Allie!
Samantha Carter
That last take? Chef's kiss!
Savannah Suilivan
Seriously you just keep raising the bar. I'm so proud!
Savannah Suilivan
Time to celebrate, right?
Megan Ross
Obviously! What's the plan,Allison?
Julia Ross
*clear throat* Before we get too carried away, can i just say... Incredible job. The team is beyond happy with how this turned out.
Allison Quin Austin
Thank you, juls! I don't want to hear anything about schedules or meetings. Just friends, fun, and freedom!
Julia Ross
Alright, alright. Tonight, I'm just one of the crew
Samantha Carter
That's what i want to hear! Let's make this night unforgettable.
Suddenly, Allison's phone vibrates with a message from her grandfather.
Allison Quin Austin
Hold on guys. Got a message from grandpa, one sec.
Savannah Suilivan
Ooh, what's grandpa saying? Another family dinner?
Allison opens the message. There's a long pause.
Allison Quin Austin
...Um.
Samantha Carter
Everything okay?
Allison Quin Austin
*long sigh* Apparently... I'm... Engaged?
Megan Ross
Wait, WHAT?! Engaged?! Like, as in... To be married??
Allison Quin Austin
Yes. Apparently Grandpa and... well, some old family friend of his... made this arrangement years ago. He thinks now's the perfect time to tell me.
Savannah Suilivan
Hold on, so this isn't just, like, a fun suggestion? He's serious?
Allison Quin Austin
Dead serious. Apparently, they have it all figured out. His friend's grandson... retired special forces or something? I guess that's who I'm "destined" to marry.
Julia Ross
Wow... Talk about unexpected. Are you okay, Allison?
Allison Quin Austin
I... don't know. I mean, marriage was not exactly on my to do list right now.
Allison Quin Austin
And definitely not someone I've never even met!
Megan Ross
I swear, this sounds like something out of a movie. Are you going to go along with it?
Allison Quin Austin
No idea yet. Grandpa's convinced it's the "right path" for me.
Allison Quin Austin
He says this guy's "the best of the best." i guess... I'll have to meet him. *sigh*
Samantha Carter
Wow, girl. Whatever you decide we're here for you. Tonight, though, how about we stick to the fun and freedom you promise?
Allison Quin Austin
You're right. I'll deal with this "destiny" thing later. Tonight is ours! Drinks are on me, crew!
Allison tries to shake off the strange turn her night. Leaving her wondering who this mystery man is her supposed future husband could possibly be.
