Chapter Twenty Two

"Oh, my God," Mallory began a gasp jumping out of her throat as she saw the fans' hands, "You have my favourite number on here too!" She grinned excitedly. The fans' eyes widened as they blushed, showing them off.

Their laughter filled the air, a harmonious blend of shared connection and mutual joy. Mallory marvelled at the serendipitous moment, feeling as if the universe had orchestrated their paths to cross in the most delightful way.

After an embrace and a final exchange of laughter, the fans reluctantly stepped back. Mallory's heart swelled with gratitude for their kind energy and genuine enthusiasm. "Wait," she said, her voice a gentle whisper, "I have something for you." She reached into her bag and pulled out two intricately beaded friendship bracelets.

Handing a bracelet to each fan, Mallory smiled warmly. "Here you go. I made them before the tour. You know, because everyone else is," The fans' eyes glistened with emotion as they accepted the bracelets, a tangible reminder of their unexpected encounter with Mallory.

With a final wave and short hug, Mallory jogged off into the venue, her heart lighter than ever before.

When she got into the VIP box, Andrea was already there, bouncing Peter on her lap as Paramore were doing their set. Mallory spoke with her friends that were and sang along to the songs that were being played.

Sooner or later Taylor came onto the stage in her Lover bodysuit that made Mallory feel lightheaded. Her mouth dropped as she saw her wife drop down and stand up, swaying her hips sensually, as she strummed her pink guitar during 'Lover'.

As the tour unfolded, Mallory's eyes were glued to the stage, her emotions riding the waves of each song. The setlist spanned Taylor's various eras, from the acoustic beginnings to the anthemic hits that had defined a generation. Mallory's heart swelled with pride as she watched Taylor command the stage with a captivating energy that was uniquely hers.

With each song, Mallory found herself transported back to different moments in their lives. The acoustic melodies took her back to the days of their early courtship, when they would spend hours strumming guitars and singing under the stars. The rock-infused tracks reminded her of the rebellious spirit that had drawn them together, a magnetic pull that defied expectations.

As the tour moved through the eras, Mallory's emotions intensified. The ballads stirred up bittersweet memories of challenges they had overcome together, their love proving stronger than any obstacle. The upbeat, danceable tunes brought back memories of carefree nights and wild adventures, a reminder of the joy they had found in each other's company.

But it wasn't just the music that captivated Mallory's attention. With each new era, Taylor emerged in stunning outfits that perfectly captured the essence of the times. Taylor's style transformed with each song, showcasing her chameleon-like ability to adapt and evolve.

During the acoustic set, Mallory's heart skipped a beat as Taylor walked onstage in a simple yet elegant red dress, reminiscent of their early days.

"So," Taylor chuckled as she sat down at her piano, looking into the crowd. "Today is a very special day for me. I mean, not only is it the first day of the tour I've been planning for two years, but it just so happens to line up with my favourite human's thirte-"

She paused talking when the screams hit excessively loud and smiled softly, glancing up at the VIP box, where Mallory cradled Peter, pointing to the screen so he could see his mother.

"My favourite human ever turned thirteen months old today!" Taylor finished. "He's growing so fast. I wish he'd never grow up."

The nostalgia was palpable as Taylor played the first keys of Never Grow Up, her voice weaving a tapestry of emotions that resonated deeply with Mallory.
