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.

oh my gosh, what a lovely, flattering coment, thank you! (: i'm really glad you liked professor cook especially, bwaha, because that was probably the most organic feeling of all the verses i wrote for this, and it's so good to hear that people are still enjoying it!

i'm not sure how much of my cookleta fic you've read, but most of what i've written is all in my index! i've been drifting away from the fandom for a while and dipping my toes into other things, so there may not be anything new too soon, but i did take part in the recent cookleta_hols exchange, and there's absolutely going to be the rest of the wedding date verse to come, and hopefully the bachelor verse after that, so yes! i hope that's a satisfactory answer? :D

again, thank you so much for this lovely comment! it made a dreary day so much better. :D

I'm thrilled to hear that you still have a few projects that you want to finish. I can't wait! <3
