Winter Wonderland had been amazing. The group had gotten to know Dianne well and soon learnt just how much she had changed Joe's life, and how happy she made him. After hours of serenading one another, and bantering back and forth with the group, Joe and Dianne both decided to hit the hay at eleven pm, ready to go to the treehouses the next day.

Joe was pacing around the bedroom, his mind quickly escalating into a familiar overdrive. He was so focused on making sure they had everything, that it all went to plan, that he didn't notice his hands become sweaty and his breathing quicken.

It was a mixture of anxiety and paranoia that created a current inside of him, forever becoming more and more violent. It was from a good place though, he just wanted it to run smoothly, to work out in the end.

"Clothes, check, toothbrush, check, batteries, check, chargers..."

"Joe?" Dianne asked, stood in the doorway, having been there a few mere seconds, she didn't know what to do weather to break his focus but with the chance of him becoming more stressed, or let him be but not address his current situation.

"One sec." He said, pacing around and looking for the charger. Dianne sighed.

"Joseph! The charger is here." she said softly, handing him the charger she found on the bedside table, he spun around and smiled, taking it from her.

Dianne bit her lip. "You sure you're okay, you seem really stressed." she said, he sighed, scratching his head.

"I am a bit stressed, I just want everything to work out you know, not forget anything."

Dianne smiled. "I get it, but we could always work around it if we do forget. Remember, we're in this together." she reminded, putting her hands on his shoulders.

"Thank you Di, I must seem like a right arse." He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. He knew he could over think, but he found it hard to find a balance of when it was right and when it wasn't.

"No you're not, trust me." Dianne laughed. "You just care, that's a good thing. But now, you've clearly checked enough times. Come on, let's have some fun."

"This is so nice, I can't wait to get back to Chewton Glen, it's been a while." Zoe exclaimed as they drove along the driveway, both listening to a chill playlist from Spotify.

Her and Alfie were spending a few days with Joe and Dianne, Zoe and Alfie would have a chance to get to know Dianne, and see just how special she was.

Zoe had seen Joe win awards, get recognition, bring our books and go to movie premieres, two of which were for his own works. She also had seen him on Christmas morning and on his birthdays. She had seen how happy he was, how his eyes lit up. She thought she had seen him at his happiest, but when he met Dianne that soon changed.

Zoe saw the look in his eyes, just how much he really loved her and how he would sacrifice everything to be with her. She knew Dianne was the right fit, and was looking forward to seeing her little brother continue the road to love.

"Me neither Zo, you've met Dianne haven't you?"

"Yeah in waltz week, they're honestly like two peas in a pod, they really are."

"Oh nice, did you ever expect him to fall in love with her?" Alfie asked, Zoe nodded to his surprise. He raised his eyebrows.

"Really?"

"Well...yeah, when I saw him with her, I saw it in his eyes. It's more of a sister thing, but I did."

After a long car journey Zoe and Alfie arrived and entered the foyer, both casually amusing themselves on their phones. The foyer was very classy, decorated with neat marble surfaces and potted plants.

"Zo, do you reckon they got caught in traffic?" Alfie asked while not breaking eye contact from his phone, still focused on the meme.

"Oh, apparently they had to take a detour as the press were hot on their trail according to Joe." Zoe said, recalling the message she had read just five minutes before hand. She shook her head, annoyed at the press.

Alfie too was aggravated by this, how the press didn't respect their personal boundaries, but they had learnt how to work around it over the years.

"Oh god, sometimes they just don't know when to stop do they, the press."

Zoe nodded, resting a hand on his.

"Nope."

"Here you go love, you ever been to one of these treehouse places?"

Joe passed Dianne her case, she smiled and shook her head, Joe locking up the car with the keys. He had through YouTube been gifted cars for periods of time, something he very much enjoyed.

"Nope, only hotels and villas. You?"

"Same as you, I've stayed in the hotel, but not one of the treehouses. The last time I was here I got really drunk." Joe explained shyly, he remembered the vlog and how just drunk he really was.

Dianne giggled, moving to cuddle into his side. "Oh I remember, the Er...YouTube party?" She clicked her fingers to remember it.

"How did you know?" Joe chuckled, moving the other arm around her and she snuggled close to him, her head tilted up to look at him, putting her own arms around his waist.

"Well, when we did our jive I may have done my research." she said embarrassed, grinning up at him, who chuckled.

Truth was, she had actually watched plenty of thatcherjoe content in her spare time. Back when it was early weeks on Strictly, it had became her guilty pleasure. She remembered being caught out by Oti and Amy week one as she sat in her dressing room with her headphones in, watching the jaspar pranks.

"Oh yeah, what videos did you watch?"

"Meh, a good mix of everything."

"You watched every one."

"I watched every one." she said guiltily, he kissed her lips.

"I love you." He muttered against them, she smiled and pressed hers to his more, him deepening it slightly. His skilled tongue traced slowly over her bottom lip, her opening her mouth and granting him access.

"Oh I've seen the car, I'll go." Zoe said, spotting the fancy car that had pulled up and was entering in the rather large car park.

She smiled and wandered around, trying to find exactly where it was. She soon found it, sighing to herself.

"Great job Zo, getting lost in a car park."

Zoe soon went around the car, only to catch her brother and his girlfriend in a make out that should either be in the backseats of the car or in the treehouse, the bedroom to be specific. She coughed, leaning up against the car and crossing her arms.

When she coughed, Dianne was in the middle of biting Joe's lip so when they pulled away it caught slightly, Joe letting out a lighthearted "ow!"

Zoe and Dianne both laughed, Joe trying to get his hand out of Dianne's hair. Zoe rolled her eyes as he eventually released his hand, both of them still slightly breathless.

"I bet the strictly lot had right fun with you two."

Dianne buried her face into Joe's neck, trying to shut off the rest of the world, she after all had just been caught out by his sister, of all people.

"Shut up Zoe, she's all embarrassed now."
