Epilogue

July 2019

"Zara, Tom over here!" The flash from the cameras were blinding. Tom had his arm wrapped around Zara's waist as they posed together for the photographers.

The day finally came, the premiere of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Both actors looked phenomenal, not a flaw in either of their appearances. They were the center of attention for Hollywood. With a hot new movie out, they were living their dreams together, for the first time in a while. They shared the spotlight: one a superhero, the other a princess.

Tom couldn't help but admire Zara's beauty and he was so proud of how far she came. He spun her around, causing her to giggle. He pulled her closer, and whispered in her ear, "Hey, you look absolutely stunning tonight. I couldn't have asked for a better date."

She blushed and kissed his cheek. "You're the best date I could ever ask for. I love you, Tom."

"What can I say, I'm Spiderman," he boasted, as he looked at the cameras.

"Um, okay, that line's getting a little old, don't you think?" She said, knowing that he was never going to stop saying that cheeky line.

"It's never going to get old until I die," said Tom, making Zara laugh. After a few more photos, the couple walked off of the red carpet hand in hand.

To the media, it was completely evident that they were dating. They expressed it to their fans only a few months ago and were surprisingly successful during their days of sneaking around. While being back together, they realized that no distance could force their love to lessen or stop. Their feelings towards one another were unconditional.

Yes, marriage was a conversation that they had had, and both intended on advancing to that stage at some point in their lives, but not yet. It seemed too rushed. However, when Tom joked about it at a family dinner, his parents and brothers seemed quite fond of the idea and almost took it literally. As for Zara, her parents were already looking forward to having grandchildren.

Only a few weeks ago, the two had a conversation about children. "I want two kids," said Zara, while lying in bed with Tom.

"Yeah. One girl and one boy. We could name the girl Emma, like Emma Jennings, the character that you played on Grey's. And for the boy, I was thinking Peter, like Peter Parker," Tom suggested.

"Our kids are going to be named after the fictional characters that we played? Isn't that a little... strange?" Zara said, somewhat surprised that Tom had been thinking about their children's' names. "I like the name Adeline for a girl and Quinn for a boy or even a girl."

Without giving it much thought Tom, actually liked the names that Zara came up with more. "Adeline... I really like the tone to it. What about Oscar for a boy?"

"Yes! I love it, can you imagine Adeline and Oscar Holland?" They laid in bed, dreaming of what their lives would be like.

Tom sighed, "Could you imagine? Two mini-versions of us running around our house... we'd probably get a house in Canada or England so that we'd feel more at home. I mean, I love the States, but every time I come it's for filming which is business. But when we're in Canada or England, it feels so homey... and we'd have a house in a more quiet town so that our kids don't have to worry about taking the metro to get to the other side of town. We'd also have a dog and we'd always visit mum and dad's otherwise I'd feel like I'm cheating on Tessa."

Zara chuckled and couldn't help but aw at this picture that Tom had illustrated in her head. "Tom, I had no idea that you thought of our future like that... it sounds amazing. And I totally agree on the Canada or England thing because every time I come to the States, it feels like business. I just can't see myself raising my kids here. But, look at you, talking about our future kids... someone should maybe consider proposing sometime soon?"
