Kirsty's Version:

Such was their shared happiness that Muammar and Nicolae ordered more desserts. The waiter seemed surprised, and informed them that the restaurant would be closing soon, but said they could just about squeeze in one more order for them.

'Please, you don't have to do this for us!' both men insisted.

'It says you have ice cream here,' Muammar said, noticing that it was from a Romanian brand, and therefore could be easily served in a little tub. 'I'll just have the chocolate swirl tub, please.' He couldn't stop smiling, and it proved to be infectious. He felt like crying with happiness, but that could wait until he got back to the apartment.

Nicolae was going to ask for more gogosi, but if the restaurant was going to close for the night, he didn't want the staff to be rushing around - after all, they'd done a great job. He asked for the strawberry cherry swirl tub.

Within thirty seconds, there were two small ice cream tubs on the table - one chocolate swirl - vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce - and the bright pink strawberry cherry swirl.

'Nico… habibi?'

'Y-Yes… dragostea mea?'

'When we go to Yugoslavia… do you want to share a hotel room?' He scooped a bit of ice cream onto his white plastic spoon and put it in his mouth

Nicolae trembled. 'Yes… I would love that. Tito would just think we were working together… or maybe he'd be kind enough to let us stay in his villa… you know, since we have so much important work to do… hmm… I think I've seen adverts for these ice creams in Yugoslavia…'

The conversation about ice creams and Yugoslavia lasted until the restaurant manager politely informed these two heads of state that the restaurant was going to close in fifteen minutes.

'OK,' they both said. They'd finished their ice creams, and Nicolae picked up his yellow wine bottle to take home. Meanwhile, Muammar finished off the last of that cold rose tea.

'I'll tell you about rose tea later,' Nicolae said in a teasing sort of way, 'but you'll probably find out by the time we get home.'

Muammar giggled. He already knew what Nicolae was hinting at. 'Please, Nico!' he laughed. 'Everything's been perfect so far!' He then realised that the 'telling embarrassing stories' part of the meal had been forgotten, but something more meaningful had taken priority. Nevertheless, as the two men stood up and paid for their meal (with tips and compliments on how wonderful the food was), Muammar whispered 'I've got a great one for you when we get back… provided I don't start crying with happiness first'

Muammar and Nicolae said goodbye to the restaurant staff, saying they hoped to return very soon. The rain was pouring down now, making both of them laugh as they ran to the car.

ChatGPT Version:

Such was their shared happiness that Muammar and Nicolae quickly decided to order more desserts. The waiter seemed surprised but was accommodating, informing them that the restaurant would soon be closing, though he could just about squeeze in one last order for them.

“Please, you don’t have to do this for us!” both men insisted, grinning.

“I saw you have ice cream on the menu,” Muammar said, noticing it was from a local Romanian brand that could easily be served in small tubs. “I’ll just have the chocolate swirl tub, please.” His smile was radiant, and it felt contagious; he could hardly contain his joy, almost wanting to cry from sheer happiness—but that could wait until they returned to the apartment.

Nicolae was tempted to order more gogosi, but seeing the staff bustling about, he didn’t want to impose. Instead, he decided on the strawberry cherry swirl tub.

Within moments, two small tubs of ice cream were placed before them—Muammar's chocolate swirl and Nicolae's bright pink strawberry cherry swirl.

“Nico… habibi?” Muammar said, playfully.

“Y-Yes… dragostea mea?” Nicolae replied, his heart fluttering at the endearment.

“When we go to Yugoslavia… do you want to share a hotel room?” Muammar asked, scooping a bit of chocolate ice cream onto his white plastic spoon and savoring it.

Nicolae felt a tremor of excitement. “Yes… I would love that. Tito would probably just think we were working together… or maybe he’d let us stay in his villa… you know, since we have so much important work to do.” He paused, a grin spreading across his face. “Hmm… I think I’ve seen ads for these ice creams in Yugoslavia…”

Their playful conversation about ice creams and Yugoslavia continued until the restaurant manager politely informed them that the establishment would close in fifteen minutes.

“OK,” they both said, reluctantly finishing their treats. Nicolae picked up his bottle of yellow wine to take home, while Muammar downed the last of his cold rose tea.

“I’ll tell you about rose tea later,” Nicolae teased, a playful glint in his eye, “but you’ll probably find out by the time we get home.”

Muammar giggled, already anticipating the lighthearted banter that would follow. “Please, Nico!” he laughed. “Everything’s been perfect so far!” He realized that their plan to tell embarrassing stories had been forgotten, but something deeper had taken precedence. Nevertheless, as they stood up to pay their bill—offering tips and compliments to the staff on how wonderful the food was—Muammar leaned in and whispered, “I’ve got a great one for you when we get back… provided I don’t start crying with happiness first.”

With that, they exchanged warm farewells with the restaurant staff, promising to return soon. As they stepped outside, the rain poured down in torrents, prompting laughter from both men as they dashed toward the car, exhilarated by the night’s revelations and the promise of more to come.

As they climbed into the vehicle, the world outside seemed to fade, leaving just the two of them, heartbeats racing and spirits high.
