Episode 23


They stepped off the plane into the Florida heat.  Kelsey basked in the warmth of the sun.  Tom loved to look at her hair in the sun – it illuminated the fiery strands and caused them to glow.  She was breathtaking.  She caught him staring at her and smiled self-consciously (well, as self-consciously as Kelsey could).  He returned her smile, his grin infectious.  “Welcome to Florida, darling!” Tom enthused.  The four of them collected their luggage and drove to their hotel in the car that Tom had rented for them.  He helped them bring all their stuff up to their rooms (which were conveniently located just down the hall from his penthouse suite).  Kelsey had barely even let her bag touch the ground before Tom grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room, leaving Caitlin and Aislinn with only “sorry, I’m stealing your roommate for a little while!”  They just grinned and set out to explore and unpack.
“Where are we going?” Kelsey asked, laughing at his enthusiasm. He rolled his eyes at her and replied,
“It’s a surprise, silly!”  They jumped back into Tom’s rental car and he pulled smoothly into the busy Orlando traffic.  The drive was pretty short before they arrived at Kelsey’s second favourite place in the world – The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  She had never been before, but it had always been a dream of hers.
“I can’t believe this!!!”  Kelsey exclaimed, gripping Tom’s arm in her excessive excitement.  “This…this is unbelievable!”  Tom grinned and gently rearranged her grip so that he was holding her hand instead of losing circulation.
“I thought you might be impressed, darling!”  Kelsey nodded, still sort of stunned and amazed that this was actually happening.  Harry Potter and Tom Hiddleston.  Her life was a fairytale. “Let’s go!” Tom helped her out of the passenger seat and they strolled, hand-in-hand, towards the magnificence awaiting them.
