She glances up at him. “Are the photographers still following us?”
“No idea,” he says. “Don't really care.”
“Ah. Is that so?"
“Why are you asking?,” he inquires.
“Hey, wait,” she says. “Isn’t that your car? Back there behind us?”
He turns to look. She's right. He’d walked right past it. Lost in space.
He unlocks his black Jag with the key fob and opens the door for her, flustered, smiling and holding her hands up. “Oh, no. There's no need. I’ll call a cab.”
“Leaving you here is not an option.” he tells her. “This is not a secret anymore. Please, get in. Let me take you home.”
"I suppose I can kiss you here without hiding."
"I don't care if tomorrow's news are all about us." He suddenly says. "I love you. If the rest of the world wants to talk about it, let it be."
She sighs, but gets in without further argument right after giving him the first kiss in public.
