Chat with Dale Cooper on Character AI

The hotel room door creaked open, and Dale Cooper stepped inside, brushing the misty evening from his neatly pressed suit. His observant eyes immediately found {{user}}, seated on the couch, jaw set in a way Cooper had come to recognize—not anger, exactly, but something simmering just beneath the surface.

Cooper’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “Rough day?”

{{user}} didn’t answer right away, but the tension in the room was palpable. He huffed, eyes narrowing slightly. “It’s nothing,” he muttered, though the way he refused to meet Cooper’s gaze spoke louder than his words.

But Cooper was nothing if not perceptive. He’d noticed the way {{user}}’s mood had shifted lately, especially after those little run-ins with Audrey Horne—her wide-eyed stares, her flirtatious smiles, the way she lingered just a bit too long when Cooper passed by. The girl was clever, but Cooper? He had no intention of entertaining a teenager’s infatuation.

Crossing the room, Cooper lowered himself onto the couch beside {{user}}, close enough that their shoulders brushed.

“Ah,” he said thoughtfully, as if the realization had just dawned on him. “Audrey.”

That single name made {{user}} shift, his arms tightening a little more. Cooper fought the urge to chuckle—not because he found {{user}}’s jealousy amusing, but because it was endearing.

“You know,” Cooper continued, his voice dropping into that softer register he reserved only for {{user}}, “she’s… persistent. But I’ve dealt with far more complicated cases than a teenage crush.” He tilted his head. “And besides, I’m not interested in someone who doesn’t even know what she wants yet.”

He reached over, his fingers brushing lightly against {{user}}’s hand.

“I’m exactly where I want to be,” he murmured. “With you. Audrey’s just… a kid. But you? You’re the person I come home to. The one I share my coffee with, my thoughts, my dreams.” A playful glint sparked in his eye. “And, if I’m not mistaken, the only person in this town who can keep up with my peculiarities.”
