"We met at a party," Katie began to explain to an interviewer who was covering the cast of the short film she was filming in Ireland.

They'd only landed the night before and she had to rush onto set, not expecting there to be an interview already but they were trying to move things along quickly, "No, sorry, I'm lying- it was at school, actually, yeah. I tried to 'loan' five dollars from my sister and Taylor gave it to me instead. Then I kissed her at a party to make some guy jealous, we later realized that we had dated him at the same time! I think it was very meant to be in the end."

She was very open about their relationship, it had been a long time coming and after seven months back together, she was happier than ever. She was thinking about asking Taylor to move in again, maybe they could find their own place as one.

"He cheated on both of you with the other?" The interviewer asked as one of Kate's new cast mates laughed softly at her.

"Yeah, it was absolutely ridiculous and still is. We were, god, we were a mess. We're on much better terms now," the actress laughed. She couldn't wait to get back to their Airbnb and see what Taylor had been up to. Last she heard, the singer was on a mission to find paint and canvases.

"I'm glad to hear it sounds like you finally got your happy ending," the woman said. Katie tilted her head slightly as she grinned, and then listened to the next question.

The interviewer had no business asking about Taylor, but Katherine didn't mind answering in the slightest. She was head over heels, absolutely nauseatingly in love and proud of it.

She brought Taylor up in everyday conversations, finding excuses to check her phone for new texts even when she didn't think there would be a reply yet. Her screensaver was a sickeningly sweet photo of Taylor asleep with two of the cats surrounding her, Benji curled right into the crook of Taylor's neck.

It had been the happiest months of her life.

The short film costume fittings and meetings had delayed her check up regarding her liver but a phone appointment was scheduled for late that night due to the time difference. She waited anxiously to speak to her doctor all day, and then stopped on the way home from the set and picked up a bottle of vodka.

"Honey," Katie said as she unlocked the door of the home. It was bright and sleek and comfortable, very homey for a place that wasn't home. When there was no reply, Katie called, "I brought alcohol, Taylor Alison."

Taylor came around from the living room with paint under her fingernails, trying to be very clean in a space that wasn't hers to smear paint across, "Well hello there!"

"Hi, gorgeous," Katie pecked her cheek as she set the large bottle down on the counter, "How was your day? I'm surprised you're still awake, it's like, eleven."

"It's like mid-afternoon our usual time and also, I am not a grandma who goes to bed at eight o'clock," Taylor chuckled, "So... how was it? Do you still get along with everyone?"

"It's good. We only filmed half the day, there were some photoshoots and interviews already. I was really surprised because we just got the script a while ago but I guess they're trying to make sure they have enough to hype it up pre-release. The director is definitely hoping to score some awards but I highly doubt this one will be award winning."

Kate rambled on a little more before Taylor stopped her and asked, "How did your appointment go?!"

"Babe, I brought home a bottle of vodka. You are officially the girlfriend of someone who only has to go for annual checkups and can drink alcohol responsibly."
