INTREPID GIRL REPORTER.

time’s o’ damn essence now and he knows ‘t too    ,    kath’s smile a thin’ close to ‘s own in a way that only happens when they’s on the same wave length     ,     up for the same shit .    (   at least he ain’t got that family t’ come home to .   )   he puts ‘n arm ‘round her easily then    ,     ‘round her shoulders and draggin’ her into ‘s side in a swift movement that only comes from trained-in dance lessons an’ then his smile goes from shit-eatin’ an‘ adrenaline fueled to a tamed charmin’ .   “   okay    ,    i’s can do italian    -    maybe .   otherwise we’s just gonna stammer our way through     ,     posh spice .   but we’s can do this .  tourist couple    ,    confused as fuck     :    go .   ”

she  leans  into  his  touch,   settling  into  the  crook  of  his  arm  the  way  a  girl  would  to  her  boyfriend.    a  giggle  rises  in  her  throat,   fighting  to  spill  from  her  mouth,   but  she  bites  down  on  her  bottom  lip  to  stop  it.    a  grin  breaks  out  instead  as  adrenaline  flows  through  her  veins.    although  they  were  dumb  enough to  get  themselves  into  this  mess,   katherine  is  sure  they’ll  be  able  to  weasel  themselves  out  of  it   &   the consequences  they  might  face ...    right ?          ❝    italian’s  good.    i  can  totally do italian.    ❞          a  line  of  enthusiastic  nods  follow,   as  if  she’s  trying  to  convince  herself  of  the  fact.

the idea’s too good to be true and completely disastrous     -    o’ course he’s in .  “    y’ mean    ,    your big ol’ dad that hates my guts? the one that wants t’ act like he ain’t a shit-ass person?  me    ,   parading ‘round ‘m?  i’s surprised ya haven’t asked earlier   ,    kath .   sign me up .   i’s always wanted t’ eat fancy food on another man’s dime   ,    ‘s be my pleasure .  ”

it seems like an hour that dmitry has been staring at her. what he still thinks is an absolutely terrible idea hasn’t stopped anyone from forcing him onto the ice with the princess of the rink herself: KATHERINE PULITZER. truly, he thought vlad had more integrity than this but he hasn’t stopped talking about what a great opportunity this would be for them, for dmitry to finally make it back to the olympics. he knows his coach is right but that doesn’t keep him from scowling at katherine and her almost impeccable twizzles —— how annoying.       ❛ IMPRESSIVE.
