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.

Decided to stop spamming each story. These are all amazing though. Funny,sweet a little heart wrenching and very much awww inducing. I don't know which is my favorite. You managed to keep them in character and yet real to the situation each time, plus there was always something unexpected as an added bonus. I'm so glad this was recced. It's been forever since I read any Cookleta and this was so worth jumping back in to it. Definitely will go on my re-read list.
