Monday 26th November. Snow had come early in England this year, following the overpowered heatwave that had occurred during the summer.
Primrose Hill looked even more beautiful than it had when Allegra had first seen it- it's soft green grass covered in a blanket of perfectly undisturbed white snow.
As they walked through the park, Allegra's arm linked through Tom's, the snow began to fall again. It placed itself in Allegra's blonde hair, the silver highlights making her hair look ashy beneath the park lamps.
They sat on a bench and watched as families began settling themselves in the park, ready to build snowmen, have snowball fights, and make snow angels.
People began recognising Tom, who had let his beard grow out. The ends of his hair had curled slightly in the cold winter air, making him look handsomely dishevelled.
His kind eyes drifted to each person that greeted him, excited faces grinning at him and Allegra as they caught him in a public place.
He signed autographs, took photos with people, and even helped a little boy build a snowman, which he named 'Loki', after his favourite Marvel character. Allegra watched on with pride as he went about his interactions, and was pleasantly surprised every time someone asked to include her in the photo.
Tom strode happily towards her, hands in his pockets, the snow wetting the bottom of his trousers as his winter boots didn't quite reach high enough to cover them.
"Shall we get some hot chocolate?" he asked her.
***
They sat at a log table at the small outdoor café that had been set up in Regent's Park, a mug each of hot chocolate in front of them, offering warmth to their chilly hands as the snow continued to fall around them.
Suddenly, Leah marched up to the counter and ordered herself a drink. She hadn't noticed Tom and Allegra sitting there, and Allegra watched her as she pulled out a notepad and starting scribbling something on it whilst she waited for her drink to be served. Her red nail varnish coated fingertips eagerly scribbling notes before she trotted away with her drink.
"Are you ok?" Tom asked Allegra.
"Yeah..." she said slowly. Tom followed her line of sight and saw Leah.
"Don't," he warned her, taking a small sip from his drink, the heat burning the tip of his tongue.
"I just want to talk to her," Allegra replied.
"Allegra, leave it," he encouraged.
They watched as Leah ripped out a page in her notebook, scrunched it up and threw it in a bin before disappearing from sight.
Allegra crossed the café and pulled the ball of paper out of the bin, unfolding it as fast as she could to see what Leah had written.
In messy writing were notes of all the recent exchanges between Taylor Swift and Tom. Leah had been drafting a new report.
