"Congratulations, Maria Grazia. That was beautiful" Mason said.
"Thank you, thank you" she smiled. "Will I be seeing you at tonight's party?"
"I would not miss it for anything in the world."
"Perfect. Now go find Adele and tell her to stop taking photos. Her job is done, she deserves to enjoy some time with her boyfriend."
"I will. Thank you."
"Thank you, Mason" she said, giving him one last hug before moving to talk with other guests.

"That's enough, Adele. Time for you to be in front of the camera."
"I don't like to be in front of the camera, Rianne."
"You do if it is me the one behind it, tho."
"Mason?" Adele said, slowly turning around.
"Hello, gorgeous" he smiled, his dimple showing.
"He's called her gorgeous. I want a guy to call me that too" one of the other models said behind them.
"What are you doing here?" Adele asked.
"Maria Grazia asked me to come find you to tell you that your job is done and that it is time to enjoy your boyfriend."
"Addie, if you aren't going to enjoy him, I will" another model said, making everyone laugh.
"You heard her" Mason said. "So put down that camera and let's go have lunch somewhere nice."
"But I..."
"You nothing, Adele" Rianne said. "You are going on a date with your boyfriend. But before that, he is going to take a proper photo of all of us together. The selfies from yesterday don't count."
"Oh my God, a photo taken by Mason Mount!" one of the girls said.
"Look at how excited they are. You can't say no to them" he said, trying really hard not to smile.
"Ok, fine" Adele sighed. "But just one."
"Or two, or three" Rianne smirked, quoting what she had told her the day before and making her laugh once again.
━━━━━━❃━━━━━━
"Thank you."
"What for?" Mason asked.
"For this. The picnic, the time alone, being away from all the noise... I really needed it after all the chaos from the past few days."
"Anything for you" Mason said, kissing Adele's forehead.
"Can we stay here and not go back to the city?"
"We have a party to attend tonight."
"I know. But this place is perfect."
After the Dior show, they had taken a car and driven outside Paris, a picnic already set and waiting for them in the garden of an old château. Mason had thought about it all beforehand, somehow managing to rent the place just for them.
"It is perfect, isn't it? I came here to shoot an editorial a few months ago and I knew I had to come back and bring you with me."
"Then why do we have to leave?"
"Because if we don't attend that party, Maria Grazia will be very disappointed and Rianne will kill us."
"That's true" Adele chuckled.
"But we'll come back once fashion week is over."
"What?"
"Fancy a whole week here just the two of us?" he smiled.
