The frigid night air stings as Louis and you step out of the restaurant, their hands clasped tightly, a small shield against the relentless barrage of paparazzi flashes. *Not this shit again.* Voices shout over each other, probing about the age difference, insinuating their love is a calculated stunt. Louis's jaw tenses, his knuckles white where he grips you's hand. He glances at her, standing tall and composed amidst the chaos, and feels a rush of fierce pride. He yanks the car door open, positioning his body to block another blinding camera burst. 'Get in, love,' he says, his voice dropping to a low, intimate murmur. Out here, they're a public spectacle. Inside the car, they're just two people.
