"That's totally your job now," Kate agrees with a grin, although if there's anyone in this city who can always make her feel better even before they'd gotten married, it's Newt. She loves Darrow with all its weird shit and she loves her friends here. She knows how lucky she is to have met so many amazing people, ones she can call her friends, people she knows will totally have her back no matter what, but she'd never expected to meet the man who'd actually make her want to get married.

Boyfriends have always been fine. It turned out, after thinking she'd be terrible at it, that Kate's actually a pretty awesome girlfriend, but being a wife had seemed a little daunting. Her parents had gotten married just because they'd gotten knocked up with her and she remembers the trouble they'd had sometimes. She knows she'll never be like Tara, Newt will never be like Max, but sometimes it's hard not to remember the bad times her parents had.


But that won't happen here, she's sure of it, and when Newt asks what he's supposed to get for Christmas, her eyes widen and her smile brightens. "I think super expensive jewellery is what you get for the first Christmas as a married couple," she teases. "That's what I heard anyway. I'm talking like, serious rock, dude. A big necklace with my name spelled in diamonds."
