Friday 4th September 2020. Margot has finally moved back to London. She found it difficult to leave Oxford as she left behind a part of her heart, a very important part of her being and her past. But she had already delayed her dreams once, this was it her big chance to start over.

Margot sat on the tube reading Madame Bovary deep in thought with the written words on each page swirling through her mind. She was addicted to the written word and if it were possible she'd swim in a sea of literary genius of the greatest minds to absorb every last ounce.

"Margot?!" a soothing familiar voice broke Margot's concentration, pulling her away from her book.

"Tom!" Tom rushed towards Margot taking her into a tight hug.

"It's great to see you!" Tom said taking a good look at her as they sat down together. He placed his rucksack down by his feet. Margot noticed his hair was a tad shorter and he had a much shorter beard too but he was back to his natural hair colour. Given having it dyed for Loki which he kept another project after that.

"And you! How's things?" Margot asked marking her page with a tatty looking bookmark and placed her book in her bag.

"Good! You know busy working most of the time. In fact I have a few things I need to do before heading off to New York in a few days to have a few meetings with directors and producers about some future projects including White Stork. There's going to be a script change and some other things they want to discuss about that...so everyone is to attend. I have to go back and re-record a few things for What if...? So all the business stuff which takes up until the first or possibly 3rd of October. Then I'll be back here for a couple of days before heading to Toronto for a part in an art project. It could vary from 4 to 8 weeks. After which I have a photo shoot and other stuff throughout the rest of the year" Tom seemed rather excited as he was unable to stay fully still, bouncing his knee up and down while he talked.

"Wow a very busy schedule you have there Mr Hiddleston" they chuckled. "The art project sounds fun. What's it about?" Margot asked integrated. 

"I can't really say much, but its being directed by a fair new director named Sam Bennett. They say this could be his best work yet. Besides I have told you quite a bit already" Tom replied with a small chuckle.

"Well good luck with the art project and everything else. I'm sure they'll be a big hit. Oh and I have to admit I enjoyed your sneak peak of Loki back in January by the way. The preparation video made me laugh" a smile spread across Margot's lips just at the thought as she touched Tom's hand absentmindedly. "Also I hear Own Wilson we be appearing in it"

"Maybe" Tom teased.

"Well...I'm sure you're gonna burn the place to the ground" they laughed until Margot realised she was touching Tom's hand. She pulled her hand away quickly wondering why Tom hadn't stopped her. Neither of them mentioned it. And what they hadn't noticed was a man sat across from them was snapping photos. He even got the shot when she touched his hand. The man tapped and clicked on his phone spreading the photos all over his social media accounts.

"Thank you darling. It has been quiet the journey with Loki I must say, it truly has been a pleasure to play him so many times over the years. And we're all looking forward to the finished piece and to see what everyone thinks. Hopefully everyone loves the series as much as we hope they will" Tom crossed his fingers for a moment as he spoke the last line.

"I don't doubt the fans, I can say it from their prospective. I mean it's something we've all been waiting for. To see more of Loki. His army will be pleased I'm sure of it" they smiled at each other.

"Enough about me, what about you? How's things with you?" Tom asked smiling at her.

"I moved back here a couple of weeks ago and this week is basically an introduction week at uni. Next week we will be given our first play to read and by the end of the week we must have three characters in mind for our audition. Right now however I'm on my way there after my job interview. I've been on six interviews since I moved here" Margot replied.
