“His smile,” she finally says.
There’s a slight blush on her cheeks as she speaks.
“Can you handle the attention that’ll come from dating Victor?” I ask her bluntly, still in journalist mode.
“I think so...”
“Have you experienced any challenges with Victor’s fame?”
Josie continues to glare down the camera lens like a pro.
“I guess we’ll see when the whole world finds out,” she says.
“What do you admire most about Victor?”
Josie doesn’t need to think that question through.
“His passion.”
“What’s been the best thing that’s happened to you since you’ve met him?”
“Talking to him.”
“What’s your favorite physical aspect of Victor’s?”
“His smile... and his eyes.”
“And do you love him?”
Josie pauses. She looks at me from over the tripod.
“Are you really going to ask me that?” she questions me. “Seriously?”
“Answer it. The people who are going to interview you will certainly ask you that question.”
“Ugh. Fine.”
“Do you love Victor Penmayne, Josie?”
“Yes. I love him. He’s my boyfriend and I love him.”
I turn the camera off.
“Good. Does that make you feel better? More comfortable?”
Josie nods.
“Yeah, it does,” she replies softly. “It actually does.”
“See, you don’t need anything else,” I say. “You don’t need to pretend to be anyone else, Josie. Trust yourself. You don’t need to be anything else or anything more. You are more than enough.”
“You think so?” she asks, still tentative.
“I don’t just think so,” I reply. “I know so. You are perfect as you are, Josie.”
The way she looks at me is enough to make my heart stop.
