Giada!
It had taken most, if not all of his energy through the last couple of weeks to try and pretend everything was going to be alright. He had been the one to be optimistic about what was going to happen, telling Giada that they were going to let them know what was happening as soon as possible, and that they shouldn’t worry in case this was all one big understanding…though secretly, he was freaking out about what they were going to do, if it wasn’t.

And of course it wasn’t. Of course they had to send them that owl, delivering even more bad news to their doorstep right before the New Year. Perhaps it was good that they sent it now, so 1981 didn’t start out as miserable as 1980 had ended. Still, the news hit both of them hard, but Giada even harder because of what had just recently happened with Euan. This was really the first day after they had received the news, and because Giada was the brides maid, he had hardly seen her all day.

He made sure to get through the crowd as quickly and painlessly as he could, all the while trying to get to his wife, who looked absolutely stunning despite her miserable disposition. When he finally got to her, he bowed down slightly, extending his hand to her. “Dance with me?” As he finished asking, the setting of the room changed, and he took her hand within his own, planting a kiss on her knuckles once she was walking beside him out onto the dance floor. He gave her a twirl once they were with the rest of the couples, and then pulled her towards him, his other hand wrapping around her waist to hold her close as they danced to the soft music being played by the band.

“…I don’t tell you how beautiful you are nearly as much as I should…”
