86.

the brisk december air was crisp against your cheeks as you and taylor stepped out of the car, the city lights of nashville twinkling around you like stars fallen to earth. the christmas market was in full swing, the sounds of carolers mingling with the hum of chatter and the occasional ringing of a bell. the scent of pine, roasted chestnuts, and cinnamon filled the air, wrapping you both in the warmth of the holiday spirit.

taylor slipped her hand into yours, her fingers lacing perfectly between yours as if they were always meant to be there. the simple gesture, now done in full view of the world, sent a thrill through you. this was the first time you two had been out together as a couple since the announcement, and the freedom to openly show your love was exhilarating.

all of a sudden you squealed and taylor looked at you confused. you hugged her and kissed her cheek repeatedly.

"i can finally do this ahh" you sung exactly, making taylor laugh at you and she gave you a kiss back.

as you walked through the market, every step felt like a small victory. taylor squeezed your hand gently, her thumb brushing over your skin in a soothing rhythm. the noise of the crowd seemed to fade as you both focused on each other, the connection between you more tangible than ever. every once in a while, you'd catch her looking at you with that soft, adoring gaze that made your heart flip, and you couldn't help but smile back, feeling like the luckiest person in the world.

you passed by stalls adorned with twinkling lights and wreaths, pausing occasionally to admire the handmade ornaments or to take in the scent of freshly baked gingerbread. taylor stopped at one of the booths selling hot cocoa, her eyes lighting up with the excitement of a child.

"two, please," she said to the vendor, her voice warm with cheer. she handed you one of the steaming cups, and you both took a moment to savor the rich, chocolaty warmth.

"perfect," she murmured after taking a sip, her eyes closing in bliss. you couldn't help but watch her, mesmerized by how her happiness seemed to radiate, touching everyone around her.

"it is," you agreed, but you weren't just talking about the cocoa. everything felt perfect in that moment—the market, the atmosphere, and most of all, her.

as you continued to stroll through the market, you found yourselves drawn to a stall selling mistletoe. taylor grinned mischievously as she picked up a small bundle of the green leaves and white berries, holding it above your heads.

"tradition," she said playfully, her voice teasing yet filled with affection.

you laughed softly, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her lips, savoring the sweetness of the moment. it was quick, just a brush of lips, but the feeling of it lingered—warmth spreading through you, chasing away the winter chill.

around you, a few people recognized taylor, and you noticed some discreet phone cameras capturing the moment. but it didn't matter anymore. there was no need to hide, no need to pretend. this was real, and it was yours.

taylor's eyes sparkled with happiness as she pulled back, her smile wide and genuine. "i could get used to this," she said softly, her hand still holding yours tightly.

"me too," you replied, feeling the same lightness, the same contentment. being able to show the world your love was a gift in itself, one you hadn't fully appreciated until now.

the two of you continued to explore the market, stopping at different stalls, laughing together, and simply enjoying the festive atmosphere. every so often, taylor would point out something she thought was cute or beautiful, her excitement contagious. and every time she did, you couldn't help but fall for her a little more.
