@afoxhound asked: 👠 What was my muse’s last serious relationship like?
Pretty much her only serious relationship has been Sam. She did a lot to bring Lara out of her shell. It was with Sam that Lara did a lot of things most teenagers had already done: went to a house party, went clubbing, stayed out late, etc. Halloweens spent out in public not for treak or treating but just partying, getting involved in new activities she wouldn’t have otherwise, things like that. On the flip side, Sam accompanied her on some trips abroad, they went camping and visited historical sites, and Sam was very supportive of her nerdy habits, finding them endearing and cute and most definitely teased her for them too. Where Sam brought Lara out of her sheel, Lara helped ground Sam.
Fun tidbit: Sam, as an aspiring filmmaker, has a lot of costume and set knowledge. Whenever there was a period piece going on at the theatre, Lara was able to provide her accurate and detailed information about it and the two would stay up discussing all forms of art, theatre, clothes, jewlery, etc. Sam also documented all of their travels with both photography and video. She encouraged Lara to be more outspoken about her ideas and was always there to validate her.
Lara really thought they’d last forever.
