And it is beautiful.
A connection.
This is a hell of a lot better than being a tourist in Rome.

I look deep into Josie’s eyes, and a deep, satisfied sigh emerges.
This moment is what I live for.
This – when I am in front of this girl and feeling her skin against mine - is when all the noise of the world stops, and I can finally breathe freely.
I trace my finger along her cheeks, stroking her pretty face as she lies next to me. Just her and me alone here.
She really is so goddamn beautiful.
And I soak in this moment... this rare moment...
I can appreciate a moment like this doesn’t come every day.
She looks back at me with her soft brown eyes as wide as can be as my finger traces down her cheek. I don’t need to say a thing to know she’s soaking in this moment as well. She looks at me with such longing and desire. It’s hard not to feel something. Even when I’m an avoidant playboy. This goes far beyond that.
“I’ve got to attend a premiere for my new movie on the weekend,” I whisper to her. I want to drop this information now – there isn’t another time for this.
“Oh, yeah?”
“Do you want to join me?” I ask her.
Josie takes a second to answer. She’s thinking it over.
“Okay. I will.”
“It’s back in LA,” I add.
Josie doesn’t even hesitate this time. She wants to do this now.
“Yeah? So we’ll fly there and back?”
“For the weekend,” I explain. “And we’ll take the private jet.”
Josie smiles at that.
“I expect nothing less than the private jet for Victor Penmayne,” she remarks.
“Is that a yes, then?” I ask her. “You’re going to come to LA with me?”
Josie blinks.
“Yes, Victor,” she whispers. “I’ll come with you.”

The premiere is one hell of a big thing. Look, I really didn’t know what I was signing up for when Victor asked me to be here. I thought it would be a fun time. I thought there might be a few hundred attending. But nothing on this... massive level.
