closed starter for fiona dughlas. ( @fionadughlas )
Convincing Fiona to do anything at all was perhaps the closest Teddy had ever come to understanding the expression ‘like pulling hen’s teeth’— she was stubborn to a fault and though he’d known her long enough to be well aware of that it was an entirely different beast to be shoving himself against that stubbornness hoping he would get her to cave in. It had been difficult enough to help her sort out a costume for the evening and Teddy was almost relieved when the night of the party had rolled around and he could finally enjoy himself-- hopefully with Fiona in tow-- rather than worrying about how difficult it was to convince Fiona to do anything for the sake of letting loose. The prince shifted his weight from one foot to the other as he sent yet another text to Fiona to sort out exactly where she’d decided to wait for him before he slipped his phone into his back pocket with a sigh and a fond roll of his eyes.
It took him less than five minutes to find her when all was said and done and he kept his distance for several moments longer than he intended-- taking in the full effect of her costume with a growing smile; he’d always thought Fiona was one of the loveliest women he’d ever met but it was a fact that was only cemented in his mind as he approached her in costume. “Have I mentioned yet that Evy was basically my dream girl when I was a kid? You look wonderful, Fi. I told you the costume would suit you!”
