Love Among the Pages
[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Red Carpet Diaries]
Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC)
Book: Red Carpet Diaries (Post-Book 3)
Word Count: <300
Rating: General: no warnings, all the fluffy fluff Prompts: @choiceschallenge-may2023 - love
Synopsis: Thomas and Alex enjoy a quiet afternoon reading.
This absolutely adorable and perfect art is by lovely and talented ArtbyAinna. 🤍
“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”
The warm spring sun bathed the lush meadow surrounding them in its golden glow. A gentle breeze caressed their cheeks, strands of her hair blowing in front of their faces. Dandelion puffballs swayed around them, occasionally sending some of their fluffy tufts twirling in the air, showering the pair in the softest white confetti.
Thomas nestled comfortably against Alex as he read aloud from The Little Prince. The words of the story swirled between them, painting a beautiful image of one of their favorite books. The enchanting tale carried them away to a world of imagination and wonder.
Alex held him from behind, her fingers entwining with his until he had to turn a page. She nuzzled her face into his neck, letting the soothing sounds of his voice overwhelm her. The story's messages always resonated deeply with her. She laughed and cried through the Little Prince's journey, knowing all too well that moments like this were of the most beautiful in the world.
Thomas turned behind him, brushing a kiss on her cheek. His gaze met hers for a moment, their eyes filled with warmth and understanding. No words needed to be spoken, for the story of their hearts spoke louder.
With another tender kiss, Thomas turned back to the page, continuing to read the tale of the golden-haired little prince whose story reminds us that the most beautiful things—like sharing love among the pages—must be felt with the heart.
Thank you for reading this little drabble. I really struggled with it. I didn't want it to be a lot, but I didn't want it to be pointless fluff either. I hope this drabble captures the love between them that only grew through the shared reading of one of their favorite books.
The Little Prince has long been one of my favorite books, and it has been Alex's as well. I wanted to commission her and Thomas reading it for a while, and now seemed like the time. This is one of my favorite commissions simply because it captures these two so perfectly. Unlike the Hollywood love stories with dramatized big memorable moments, their love has always been the strongest in these small moments.
I love these two so so much and if you made it this far, I appreciate you for putting up with my rambling. Thank you so so much for reading!

Fun Facts / Things to know
Lilah has always been observant and aware of her surroundings, even as a child she could recall details about places she'd been and people she'd met briefly.
Lilah is a coffee connoisseur. She has a deep appreciation for coffee and considers it an essential part of her daily routine. While she has her favorite roasts, bean type, and variety of order, when it comes down to it, she's not picky. Coffee is coffee and bad coffee is better than no coffee.
Lilah does not have a lot of dating experience. Once her father died, she closed herself off for a few years, and then turned her focus on the job. She takes great pride in her work and has never regretted her choice.
Lilah generally enjoys detective shows but she can't figure out if she likes the shows or just critiquing them and pointing out errors or ways the detective could have done something differently.
Lilah loves the show Psych. She thinks its outrageously ridiculous but that some how makes it even better. She doesn't even bother trying to critique it, she just went along for the ride. She does at time ask herself "how many hats are in the room?" or a similarly appropriate question to keep her mind sharp and actively observing her surroundings.
Lilah is allergic to fresh pineapple.
Lilah loves puzzles and mind teasers.
Outfit Alternatives:
Lilah's dress for the Governor's ball (COP1)
Lilah's undercover socialite outfit (COP2)

May 29
in the golden hour, in my bedroom bare
of living for the first time in three years
the sunlight wanders in and lights
a crumpled piece of paper—
the only thing remaining in this place
that once was mine.
i’m moving on
and moving out. and reaching for
the coming page,
the next chapter of this story
i am in.
i’ve been trying not to take
too many talismans—i tend
to gather them past point of
power born from singularity.
i pick up the paper, and it’s blank
but for a metaphor invisible.
i ball it up. i toss it out.
i do not take it with me.
