Her face red and hands tightly closed in fists by her sides, the girl was actually holding her breath for most of the time as she walked through people, trying her best not to bump into any of them.

It was the World Cup, though, so she knew it was a big deal, especially as it was in the UK and England was in the final. Catherine wasn't going to complain, because it was a once in a lifetime kind of experience, but... she couldn't wait until she was back at their tent, with only their families to deal with.

Dealing with Noah and Scarlett instead of this crowd sounded like a dream right now. And that was saying something.

"Why do they have to be so loud?" The nine year-old grumbled under her breath half to herself, half to her best friend, sending a few glares and frowns to those who dared bump into her. "And blind." Couldn't they see she was trying to avoid human contact!? So rude!


Cecelia, on the other hand, was LIVING HER BEST LIFE. The colors. The crowds. THE EXCITEMENT. She couldn't even BELIEVE she got to be here and that her mum had agreed to let her check out the stands while she waited in line for food. THAT LINE WAS HUGE! It meant she had all the time in the WORLD, basically, and she was enjoying EVERY MINUTE of sweet freedom.

"It's because this is all so amazing, Catherine!" The blonde grinned, her long blonde hair bouncing around her shoulders as she walked with a pep in her step towards one of the merchandise tables. "Look, I know it's not really your thing, but it's SO MINE, so please at least try and have fun..." She got all puppy eyes activated mode on her best friend, imploring her to enjoy herself. It really shouldn't be too hard. THIS WAS THE WORLD CUP!

"You think my mum will let me get a jersey? That'd be so cool!"


SPOILER!!: Husband

Logically, he was well aware that he was far from experienced or old (they usually went hand in hand somehow huh?) enough for anything to happen any time soon but his heart still got way too excited every time their coach wanted to have a private conversation.

ANYWAY, he was digressing.

Knowing full well that Maddie probably wouldn't be enjoying herself sitting up here by herself, Alex looked around the pitch for a moment before standing up again. "You should help me pick the food." He held out his hand again, grinning to her.

..........

"...maybe they'll have Norwegian food again." Alex said once they'd somehow managed to make it through the crowd of people heading ONTO the stands. Giving his wife's hand a squeeze, he led them over to one of the nearest food stands. "Right, so....chocolate, right? You wanted chocolate?" Also other things but hey, desserts were very important. They definitely and wholeheartedly agreed on that.


"Chocolate is my most favorite thing in the world next to cats, and art, and...I know I'm forgetting something." She flashed a smile at him, moving closer as someone with an impressive order of chips squeezed past them. The smell alone made her mouth water and she was suddenly very glad she'd joined Alex. Meant she could snack as soon as they got their order. "Hey, I remembered. My husband." That was him and he smelled equally lovely. "You're on my favorite things list, too." Lucky him. Maddies only made lists about important things.

"I vote cake or brownies or cookies or chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce." Or all of the above. She might be tiny, but the girl could eat.
