Molly Sue had watched Hunter win against the Chudley Cannons yesterday, and was excited to show off her own work today in exchange. After the game, she'd joined the team for their celebration in Montrose - something she'd gotten more accustomed to the longer they'd been dating - and then they'd had a nice night at Hunter's flat. That morning, they'd lazed about chatting about the party she was planning for her birthday next week. Her birthday was Wednesday the 1st, but she'd planned a big club night for Friday the third or Saturday the fourth, depending on when Montrose would have to place in the Play-offs (she had no doubt they would be in them). Juggling the days had added a slight wrench to her plans, but it was nothing she couldn't handle, and she'd reassured him as such.

Now they stood just at the edge of the property she and her sister had inherited. It was her first time bringing him here, and she was glad for it, for a lot of the remodeling had been finished (from the outside at least) and a lot of the grounds had been redone and fixed over the springtime. It was better to show him now rather than before they'd started, she reasoned. She knew he supported her decision fully, but she'd been worried people other than she and Lucy might not be able to see the potential. With the grounds and building coming together so beautifully, she was more confident.

She bit her lip and played with the hem of her t-shirt as she stood next to him, somewhat anxious about his first reaction.

Molly Sue leaned into his kiss, feeling comforted and heard - a feeling outside of Luce, Frankie, Cass, and Hunter, she wasn't accustomed to. And three of those people she'd only gotten close to in the last year or so. She'd known Hailey for most of her life of course, but Hailey had her own life, and always had so much going on, that even with her, Molly felt she could fall behind a little too easily.

Sighing she looked him in the eye, "Honestly, I really, really love the idea. But I don't know if - financially - I'm able to just yet. And I also think if we do want to do that, we have to have some other conversations - finances, of course, but also like... living together stuff." She wanted to say they should discuss what they both wanted for the future, if they were even thinking of moving in together, but that felt like too much to put on him. Maybe - since he was the one who brought this one up - he'd mention the topic when he felt it was right. "Luckily, studio space won't be an issue when I move out of the townhouse, as we're building a space here for me. Brides and such, easier to just have it all on premises," she said with a happier sigh. It felt like a more comfortable topic, even though she'd been so nervous on their way here.

Hunter nodded. Perhaps this wasn't how he had hoped the conversation would go, but he was still glad that he had broached the topic. It would have eaten away at him if he'd had to keep his thoughts to himself and longer and he wanted her to know how he felt.

"Whenever you want to have those conversations, I'm ready for them." He dropped one hand, reaching for her. "Can you show me where you're going to build it? Maybe I can take some photos?" Something for her to put on her socials.

She felt much better when he said he'd be open to those conversations. She'd never lived with a significant other before, but the practical side her - her father's doing, surely - had come roaring to life at the thought.

She nodded. "We will then, I promise," she didn't want him to worry that she didn't want to take the next step with him. She did, she really, really did. But there also needed to be a lot that happened between then and now first.

When he changed the subject, she beamed at him, "You want to see my space?" That was so cute, she thought she might die at how cute it was. She nodded again, though, "Let's go, then," and she took his hand securely and tugged him out of the ballroom and up the 'grand' staircase toward the overnight rooms.

The first door on the second floor would serve as their office, a shared space for all administration of the estate. And then the second door would be her studio space, with its vaulted ceiling and lovely floor to ceiling windows - which would have plush, full curtains she could close for fittings, of course. She sighed as they entered, already feeling like she would feel at home here. The construction in here was barely a quarter done, but she had brought a beat up sofa from her old flat a few weeks ago, a place for her to work while the construction was going on. She hadn't been doing any sewing, of course, not here, but she came here to design and meet with the vendors and discuss plans with the Construction Foreman. "It's not much yet," she said with a little laugh, "but it'll be perfect. It's already my favorite space here."

Hunter felt reassured by that. Things with Molly had always felt like a partnership and he could accept that things were a little unequal at the moment. He wouldn't push but he always wanted to be honest with her.

Molly's chosen room was full of incredible natural light that illuminated her smile as she explained her plans. There were swatches of colour on the wall where she'd tested paint colours and other signs that work was underway into turning this into her perfect studio. Hunter settled himself on the couch, arms spread out along the back of it. "Just think of all the beautiful things you're going to design in here."

When he settled into the sofa, she followed, waiting for him to sit and then crawling on to straddle him, facing him with an excited grin. "I can't wait. I've never even done a wedding dress before - I mean, it's thee most important dress in a woman's life, and I'll have the chance to have a hand in that. Well, if people let me." Her hands came to rest on his shoulders, and she continued. "And I'll have plenty of space to keep working on my regular projects."

Putting his larger hands over hers, Hunter's smile mirrored hers. There was that excitement again, so vivid it shone out of her beautiful face. He was absolutely sure that people would let her design their wedding dresses. They'd let her dress the grooms and other members of the wedding party. She'd styled him for events and Hunter wouldn't have it any other way.

"Don't forget the bridesmaids and the mothers of the brides." He squeezed her fingers reassuringly. "All made by Molly Sue. You're going to be the most well-known person in this couple." Just as it should be, he thought.

	She couldn't help but giggle, "Yeah right, and then you could retire if you want and be a spoilt house husband," she said through her laughter. But then she realized what she said and her eyes grew wide, her mouth popping open in a silent 'oh'. Oh dear. That was new. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That was new. But it still made Hunter smile. He was dedicated to his career, but he wasn't kidding himself that it was the only career he would ever have. Being a Quidditch player had a somewhat limited lifespan compared to most jobs. He caught those full, surprised lips in a brief kiss. "Maybe that's my dastardly plan all along."

	Molly melted into his short kiss, glad he hadn't seemed concerned over her silly 'house husband' comment. She didn't want him to think she was thinking too ahead on the whole moving in together, and maybe what comes next, thing... She smiled at his joke and asked, "Long game?" Her smile morphed into a goofy grin at their sarcasm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yep." His hands rested on her hips. "Worm my way into your good graces, build you up into a go-getting entrepreneur, then retire as a house husband. Or trophy husband. Or something else."

Hunter's smile matched hers. "But I'll take any future we can dream up together." Her slip, though, left him feeling quietly confident that they'd have those conversations sooner rather than later.

Her face softened at the intimacy of his admission. ...any future we can dream up together. That sounded so positively delightful that she couldn't help leaning in to give him the softest of kisses, just at the corner of his perfect smile. Together, she loved that thought.

She loved him. So very much. And despite her anxiety and stress about where her life was going at the moment, she was so very content and secure in their relationship. She knew they would support each other's dreams, and conquer them together, and the idea had her floating on cloud nine.
