Ask the twins about themselves and their studies to establish a friendly rapport

As the waiter pours champagne into delicate flutes, you lean forward, your D-cups pressing against the edge of the table, and flash your brightest smile at the twins.

"So what do you guys, like, do? Your daddy says you're both super smart!" You twirl a pigtail around your finger, your attention particularly drawn to Matt's stocky build—a younger version of Rick that sends unexpected tingles through your transformed body.

"We're at UCL," Matt replies, visibly warming to your attention. "Business management."

"Ohmigod, that sounds so complicated!" You widen your eyes in exaggerated amazement, leaning closer to him. "Your brain must be, like, huge."

Matt's cheeks flush as he adjusts his collar. "It's really not that—"

"Matt's top of his class," Mandi interjects, eyeing your interaction with her brother. "I'm focused more on marketing."

"That's so impressive!" You reach across the table to briefly touch Matt's arm. "I could never understand all those numbers and things. My brain just gets all fuzzy."

Through your connection with Becky, you feel her amusement at your performance. She maintains her composed Rebecca facade, but beneath it, she's enjoying the show.

"What about you, Ashley?" Matt asks, his gaze repeatedly dropping to your neckline where the blue sundress strains across your chest. "What do you do?"

"Oh!" You blink rapidly, surprised by the question. "I'm a... um..." Your simplified mind struggles to recall your former profession. "I open things!"

"She's a locksmith," Rick supplies, his hand possessively finding yours on the table. "A damn good one, apparently."

"A locksmith?" Matt's eyebrows rise in genuine interest. "That's actually really cool."

"Really?" You beam at him. "Most guys think it's boring, but I love making things... you know... open up." You punctuate this with a deliberate lick of your lips.

Matt nearly chokes on his water, and you feel Rick's grip tighten around your hand.

"So you two met yesterday?" Mandi asks, her attention shifting to her father. "And you're already... what exactly?"

"Ashley's moving in with me," Rick states firmly, shocking both twins into momentary silence.

You use the opportunity to slide your chair slightly closer to Matt's. Under the table, your bare knee brushes against his thigh, and you feel him tense. His eyes dart to yours, surprise mingling with unmistakable interest.

"Your daddy's been so generous," you say to Matt, your voice dropping to a breathy whisper. "Taking care of me... showing me things..."

Matt's pupils dilate visibly. Through your connection, you sense Becky's telepathic giggle: He's totally falling for you! Just like we planned!

"And Rebecca's been helping you settle in?" Mandi asks, her attention fixed on her father's face rather than noticing the tension building between you and her brother.

"Like sisters," Becky confirms coolly, her executive persona still holding strong though you can sense the strain. "Ashley needed guidance, and I was happy to provide it."

You notice something interesting—Mandi's expression softens when she looks at Rick. There's admiration there, maybe even pride. She hasn't seen her father this animated in months, perhaps years.

"You seem different, Dad," she says, studying him with newfound curiosity. "Happier."

"Do I?" Rick's chest puffs slightly, his hand releasing yours to straighten his already perfect tie. "Well, life's been... interesting lately."

While the father-daughter exchange continues, you take the opportunity to lean closer to Matt, your perfume enveloping him. "Your daddy's building is super fancy. Do you visit a lot?"

"Not really," Matt admits, his voice lowered. "But I might start."

The implication hangs between you, electric with possibility. His fingers brush against yours as he reaches for the bread basket, the contact deliberately lingering.

"I'd like that," you whisper, feeling the first tendrils of the Daddy's Family upgrade working its magic on him too. "We could all be so close."
