[30] What a sad beautiful tragic love affair

Sometimes I like to think that Taylor wrote this song haha.

You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back

It was in these moments that she thought she loved Karlie most.

With gently curled hair cascading down her shoulders, and a close-fitting dress hugging modest curves, she looked like the first snowfall after a dreary autumn in her white flowing dress.

She epitomized every metaphor of perfection, and Taylor was almost helpless to avert her gaze.

We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people who talk too much

You've got the kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us

The flashing lights didn't faze Taylor in the slightest, because the brightest light of them all was standing three feet away from her. Who could be distracted by twinkling stars when the sun was shining in full force?

The voices that clamored for her attention were pushed to the back of her mind as she subtly focused on the one before her. Taylor's eyes trailed over Karlie's features, from the warmth of her green eyes, to the slight rosiness of her cheeks.

Only when she'd settled on looking at the bow of Karlie's lips did Taylor register that she was being addressed with a microphone, and that a camera was inches away from her face. Flushed, she chanced a look at Karlie, only to be met with a raised eyebrow, and then an amused grin.

Completely flustered now, Taylor's blush crept down her neck and she timidly asked the interviewer to repeat his question.

And should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need

Despite her earlier embarrassment at being caught out, Taylor spent the rest of the interview not-so-accidentally making eye contact with the younger girl.

She was pretty sure that the only thing she ever needed in life was Karlie's answering smile.

She vaguely felt the pounding of her pulse in her ears, something that probably should have been borne of anxiety, and caused by the swarms of cameras surrounding them. But Taylor could only register the affection in Karlie's eyes as they met with her own.

Absentmindedly, she supposed that this was what pure, unadulterated love felt like.

I'm so in love

So in love

The interviewer's final question was answered, and the girls were shuffled off to stand before the next camera. In the midst of the three other girls, Karlie gently brushed her fingers against Taylor's, as if in reply to the unspoken declaration of feelings.

Taylor resisted the urge to claim Karlie's lips then and there.

You look so beautiful in this light

Your silhouette over me

The way it brings out the blue in your eyes

is the Tenerife Sea
