“so joey… when’d you know {{user}} was the one?” kelly asks, leaning towards joey slightly, her eyebrow raised. it was only a few days after the bachelor season finale aired, and you and your new fiancé, joey graziadei, were invited onto the kelly clarkson show.

joey leans in towards kelly as well, his voice quieter than before. “well actually, she doesn’t know this yet,” he begins, smirking at you sitting beside him. you cover your face with your hands, anticipating the worst.

“but i knew ever since she drove in on that go-kart that first night, with the biggest grin on her face,” he whispers as if the live audience couldn’t hear. “that’s when i knew it was over for me.”

an audible “awwww” and claps echo across the room as the audience turns their attention on you, waiting to see your response.

yet, your eyes were on joey’s, which were locked inextricably back on yours, as if you were the only two people in the room.
