The Sundace festival had been a surreal experience, the press conferences, the interviews, the great reviews, everything made it look like a dream. Ed and Taylor arrived to their hotel room after the showing, happier than ever, they had so much to celebrate. Taylor had drunk a little to much making her somewhat tipsy, Ed had drunk a lot less than his girlfriend and was trying to take care of her. It was a really funny sight to see, a day ago the really mature and responsible Taylor was looking after Anne and now he had a little bit reckless and somewhat drunk Taylor with him but he loved both of them. It was also their night alone, he had really liked to play and take care of Annie, se even gave him a nickname, Ed was now "fire head", Taylor had been really embarrassed about it but Ed found it funny and cute, he now called taylor "mommy" in presence of Anne and he called the little version of Taylor "cutie". He had talked to his mom about it, because it scared him how easily he and Anne got attached to one another, his mother told him to take it slow, that it should be Taylor and Anne the ones to dictated the pace, and that was what he was going do.
Ed got surprised by Taylor kissing him, she was quickly discarding her clothes, he was aroused too but this wasn't the ideal situation, she was partly drunk, he wanted her to remember their first time together as a couple " baby.... no, you are half drunk" Taylor laughed " not I'm not" she sat on bed " yes, let's just cuddle tonight" Ed gave her a severe look " wait, while I go look for an Advil" Taylor's eyelids slowly started to close and when Ed got the girl the Advil he found the blond already asleep " you need to stop doing this love" he kissed her lips softly and got in bed. Taylor woke up next morning with the red headed boy sleeping on her chest, snoring lightly, she remembered drinking and trying to get Ed to sleep with her, the next thing in her memory was waking up with Ed, he still dressed, she still on yesterday's clothes " you are so good to me" she whispers and go back to sleep.
Ed and Taylor had more interviews today, the film had became so popular and now big shows like the today show and GMA wanted to interview them. It was so surreal, they got calls from the university back in the UK congratulating them, Ed's mom to tell him how proud she and his dad were and to past on the congratulations to Taylor and told him that they had to meet her, Taylor's mom to tell them about an article on the local news paper about the movie and them. They sat on a suite of the hotel specially reserved for the three major interviews they had today. Taylor was really worried about the time because Andrea would bring Anne to the hotel with all her stuff so tomorrow Taylor could fly home with her. The first interview was for the Hollywood reporter, questions kept strictly movie related, they wanted to know everything from the original idea to the direction part of the movie, it went smoothly and soon they finished. The next interview was from the today show, it started really great with questions about the film and how it was becoming a really huge thing. The nice interviewer asked a question that nobody, not even Taylor or Ed had thought and it made Taylor kind of uncomfortable.
" In the middle of the film, when the woman loses her husband you can really se the desperation of the moment, each stage is really detailed, I mean, the divorce is really well portrayed, but I lost my first husband and it was really the same way that it's written in the film and I wonder if you pulled that from a personal experience" the poor woman interviewing them didn't know how difficult it was for Taylor to answer the question.
Ed saw how the face if his girlfriend changed from one of happy politeness to one of comfortableness, she tried to keep her face straight but needed some support so she grabbed Ed's hand " yes, I wrote it really detailed because I went through that, until now that you mention it I hadn't realized that I wrote it that way" the interviewer gave her a sympathy smile but kept asking.
" but you are young, I bet you are not even 25, I mean, you were married?" Taylor gave Ed's hand another squeeze, she wanted to end this so she gave the interviewer a full answer " I had just given birth to my daughter, her father was on college but he wanted to visit us so on his way to where we were he and his parents were in a car crash and no one survived, so I actually know how you feel when you are left alone with a month old baby, thank god my mom and dad have helped me so much" Taylor hoped that it was enough for the interviewer and apparently it was.
the next interview was separate, the interviewer asked Ed " where do you see yourself in 5 year, personally and professionally?" Ed thought for a minute, he didn't want to scare Taylor, he knew she would see the interview, but he also wanted her to know that he was in for the long run " I see myself married to my girlfriend, probably planning to add more kids to the family, I see myself working with her too in big productions, maybe living in the states, I don't know" Taylor wasn't watching the interview but Andrea was, she loved that Ed felt that his relationship with Taylor was serious.
When the interviews were aired the next day Taylor saw them and thought how cute it was when he said planning to add more kids and not planning to have kids because Taylor had Anne already, Ed in the other hand got a message of a confused friend " she has a kid" thanks for telling me man" and one from Taylor that made him smile " I just watched the interview, I love you. See you later to go to the airport".
