epilogue: and they lived happily ever after


Ten minutes before the interview concludes, David is interrupted by a phone call. In a move that should be unprofessional but is instead strangely endearing, he promises me ten additional minutes of his time before excusing himself to take the call.

He's smiling when he returns, and apologizes for holding us up.

"Dinner plans?" I ask, trying to sound casual.

I clearly fail, because David refuses to elaborate further, apart from shooting me a sly grin and saying, "Something like that."

We finish the interview amicably. David has plenty of anecdotes to share from the time he's spent on tour, and with his family. He remains notoriously tight-lipped about his relationship, only saying, "He's great. Some days I wish we were out, so we could do things together, like see a movie, or go out for dinner. But it's, uh, it's a trade-off, I guess, and so far we've had a really good run."

All too soon, my time is up.

Judging from the fact that David's first priority, once he's thanked me, is to sneak into the men's room with his cell phone, I'm going to say that "a really good run" is probably a vast understatement.

I may not know who the lucky leading man is, but I'm pretty sure this romance ends with castles, horses and riding off into the sunset.

holy freaking cow. becca. BECCA. i don't - WHAT CAN I EVEN SAY? i mean, there are so many brilliant authors in the fandom, AND THEN LOOK AT YOUR OPENING LINE, I MEAN, WHAT DO I EVEN SAY? <33333333333333333333

and just, you envy my cook voice, this coming from you, of all people. i am legit blushing over here. i am completely speechless over here, like, i honestly don't even know what i can say except thank you, thank you so much, for sticking this out to the end, and sharing the journey with me, and leaving me the most thoughtful feedback (which is the best kind, always!). i am so, so humbled, and i am so thrilled you enjoyed it (especially AU3, since there were a couple of times when i was writing it that i was kind of ready to trash it because you'd already asked meg for kid!fic, and i was terrified that this would fall kind of flat after that)!

just - thank you, again, so, so, so much. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
