the next day. —> narration.

kirsten ended up getting released the next morning at around 7:30 am. they said she can stoll go out with us but, she's not allowed alcohol and, must bring tylenol and lots of water as well as, be wearing sunglasses at
all times, if sunglasses aren't enough she must also wear a hat. which she was okay with since she knew how to style them to make them look good. they also told her limiting screen time. no more then 20 minutes per hour which goes the same for reading. but now, we're currently eating breakfast at my house which as aj promised, is chocolate croissants.

stephanie's place. —> stephanie's pov.

"how you feeling kris?" aj asks as we eat our croissants "alright, i took some tylenol before i left the hospital. "kris phone down" i say and she laughs "whyyy" she asks "one, doctor's orders, two, i wanna see your beautiful face!" i say and she laughs then puts her phone down. not long after we all finished eating and got
our things together to head out. "i'll be back, i just have to grab something." i say as i run upstairs and quickly grab my extra lens. this lens provides better focus and overall picture quality. "alright lets go." i say as i put it in my camera bag and we leave my house quickly stopping to lock the door.

at the location. —> stephanies pov.

"who's first?" i ask as we get out of the car "ooo me!" kirsten says as she gets into her spot and i pull out my camera "some on film and some on digital?" i ask and she nods and poses, some
of which made me laugh really hard. i got some of just her on film and on digital then i got some with her, paget and aj on film and on digital. i basically repeated this process over and over, eventually we all got a little tired (and hungry) so we left and went to dinner.

narrative.

even with all the love, which i'm incredibly grateful for, i feel like my photography isn't always as amazing as people say it is. like, i love taking pictures, it makes me happy but, it's not always something i'm proud of. it's like my brain convinces me my work is mediocre when i know how hard i work and i know how much talent i have. i spend hours and hours on end editing the pictures and making them look perfect and i never truly feel proud of them. it's exhausting mentally. it got so bad i stopped taking pictures for a year because i mentally couldn't handle the lack of motivation and happiness i felt towards my work. then, one day, i pulled out the cameras again. matthew and i decided to go walk along the beach at sunset, and i took a few candid pictures of him. i loved how they turned out. i still do. it's honestly some of my best work. it showed that he was truly happy in that moment. i'm so glad i have those in pictures so i can look back on them. i started an album of candid pictures of each other or when we were together, he doesn't know about it because i haven't finished it yet but, it's turning out really cute. i love it so far. i might gift it to him, especially since the pictures are all dated and, the album is organized by date. so it's like a mini time capsule in a sense. does that sound stupid? i don't know. but anyways, i'm currently at home with matthew, we're just in bed. he's reading while i'm obviously writing to you guys. from what i can see, matthew is reading "my undercover life in the mafia" by joseph d. pistone. he's very invested in it actually. he's got the focused thumb biting happening and everything. anyways, i better wrap this up seeing as i think he caught me staring and basically analyzing him. not even kidding as i was writing that sentence he asked me "why are you analyzing me?" then laughed. anyways, goodnight! i'm gonna go annoy matthew while he tries to read and i prevent that!

present time.

"why are you analyzing me?" he asks as he laughs while i write in my journal which makes me laugh "i am not! and anyways if i was, i'd be much more discreet about it." i say as i finish my entry while he laughs which makes me shut the journal and place it on my nightstand with my pen on top of it and turn to look at him "matthew you have to stop chewing your thumb when you read. you're gonna hurt yourself, love." i say as i grab his thumb and give it a quick kiss "i'll be okay." he says and i shake my head as i wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest which makes him chuckle and mark his page before closing the book and placing it on his nightstand. "matthew?" i ask as i look up at him and see he's looking down at me "yes love?" he asks as he moves some hair out of me face "i just wanted to say i love you" i say which makes his eyes soften as he smiles down at me and adjusts his arms around me "i love you more." he says and starts to tickle me which makes me start laughing "stop it!!" i say which makes him laugh harder and ignore my demands as i start trying to maneuver myself out of his grip, which i of course fail at. "matthew!!" i say as he stops and gently moves me onto his lap and moves the hair out of my face "you're evil." i say which makes him throw his head back in laughter which of course makes him hit his head off the headboard as i immediately place my hands behind his head while laughing "are you okay?" i ask between laughs and he nods "i am" he says as i eventually calm down and place my forehead on his as he smiles "you're so beautiful." he whisper's which makes me blush which of course he notices "are you blushing?? is the stephanie hart blushing!?" he asks sarcastically as i let out a laugh and gently kiss his lips "only
for you." i say as he deepens the kiss and rolls us over so i'm laying down and he's overtop of me before he stops for air and smiles at me "have i ever told you how much i love you?" he asks and i nod "yes, but you can tell me again next tuesday on our wedding day." i say as he smiles and hugs me again as he kisses me all over my face which makes me go into a fit of giggles as he gently places one last kiss on my lips before getting off me and laying down beside me so i could lay my head on his chest.
