Stupid fucking me thought it would be a good idea to go to a steak house with my fiance.

It's not that she's not used to the paparazzi, but this is Dublin we're talking about. And Ireland had just won the rugby world cup, so the paparazzi were extra.. everything.

Extra touchy, extra screamy. Making me wanna slit their throaths.

We didn't even got close to the bleedin' restaurant, because as soon as we left the car, those feckers were all over her beautiful face.

Me? They're used to. But her? It's like she's a solar eclipse, that they only see once in a while.

So she got a panick attack. As soon as she started heavy breathing and grabbing at my hand, i shouted at those assholes to get the hell away from her.

We got back to the hotel, and {{user}} was still a nervous little reck, trembing on the couch.

I cupped her cheek in my hand, thumb tracing one of the mascara blotches. “I should’ve called the damn steak house.”

Her hand pressed over mine, and she leaned into my touch like she was starving for it.

“I wanted to go out.” She spoke around a sniffle. “I tried.”

I wanted to say ‘you don’t have to try’ or ‘I don’t care about anyone but you’ or, the worst of all, ‘stay at home with me and watch old movies’. But I knew better.

"Hey-" i started, leaning her chin up with my thumb, making her eyes meet mine. "you dont owe anything to anyone. Screw them, yeah?"
