Behind the scenes (Tom Hiddleston x reader)

Never look back

The weeks that followed the end of the movie shoot were filled with adjustments and new beginnings for Izzy and her mother, Sarah. As they settled back into their everyday lives, the memories of the set remained in their hearts, but they made a conscious decision never to look back with regret. In that way it would be easier for Izzy to look forward too.

Izzy had returned to school after taking the shooting. She also got some tasks she had to do on set and she did them all. Stepping into the familiar hallways, she felt a mix of excitement and trepidation. Her classmates greeted her with enthusiasm, eager to hear about her time on the movie set. Izzy's experiences had changed her and she shared stories of dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. It didn't took her too long to readjust to the daily school routine, which means getting up early in the morning, packing her school back and studying until the early afternoon.

But there were moments of nostalgia and longing. During lunch breaks, she would sometimes sneak away to a quiet corner, close her eyes, and remember the feel of the director's chair, the warmth of the spotlight, and the camaraderie with her fellow actors. Those were the moments when she missed the set the most. For example when she saw a man on the street who almost looked identical to Tom. She misses him more than words can describe it.

Her mother, too, had to adjust to their "normal" life once more. The routine of daily chores and responsibilities replaced the excitement of being on set. Yet, she knew that their time on the set had been a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and she was determined to make the most of their present.

One evening, as Izzy sat at her desk, doing her homework, Sarah approached with a steaming cup of hot cocoa. She placed it on the desk and smiled at her daughter. "You know, Izzy, moving forward doesn't mean forgetting the past. It means taking the lessons and experiences with us into the future."

Izzy looked up, her eyes meeting her mother's. "I know, Mom. I'll always carry those memories with me."

The first few weeks had been a transition period, but Izzy and Sarah had made a pact to embrace their "normal" life while keeping the spirit of adventure alive. They found joy in everyday moments, shared laughter with friends and family, and cherished their time together.

They never looked back with regret. Instead, they moved forward with gratitude for the opportunities that had shaped them. The movie set remained a cherished chapter in their lives, but it was only the beginning of a remarkable story waiting to unfold.

As the years go by they stopped talking and remembering that time so often.  The journal has always a special place in their heart, but for now they had to concentrate on the future. Sarah got a new job at one of the biggest marketing companies in New York and Izzy wanted to become a writer, so she had to do her schoolwork.

And in no time the years flew by. And now i'ts been ten years since their magical time on set.
