You Have A Castle? I'm Jealous. I've Always Wanted To Live In A Castle. To Be A Princess Of My Own Castle

girl, if you want to try pilates then let me know. i have this adorable studio that i go to and the ladies who teach it are the best. they snatched my waist so quick. exactly. i don't know what's going on, but if you need someone to vent to then i'm here. odds are i've probably been in the same boat as you, so we can swap war stories.

i think i should try pilates because i have been seeing people's results and they look fantastic. yeah i've been eating and drinking them today, but tomorrow it's back to the gym and working on my businesses. can't let one thing stop me from working on what i love.

it kind of makes me sad knowing i spent so much wasted time and energy on fear that others caused, and robbed myself of so much time with you. i know there is no point to dwell on the past, but it's sad. it does bring me so much comfort to know that you love me, too, and that we're both on the same page with everything. i trust you more than i trust anyone else in this world, and i know that i'm in good hands with you. of course i want that future. i've wanted it for so long, i just never had anyone who wanted it with me until you. i think we could have a beautiful life together. we've already had a beautiful friendship, so why not upgrade that to a lifetime of happiness together? i'm already yours— officially.

You are the most important thing to me, that's something that's been the case for a while now and something I don't ever see changing either, darling. Is that so? Well, I guess I'm pretty happy to hear I made it hard, and I'm glad that you ended up falling in love with me, even if you tried not to. Which, I'm in love with you too, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm sorry you were so afraid to get hurt again, but I understand because I had a little bit of that fear as well. I want us both to be happy and focus on our happiness together. I want you too, and of course I'll have you if you'll have me, darling. You really want that future? I guess getting older, I've just realized that I want to have that before I'm too old to really enjoy it, you know? You're speaking my language with a gothic wedding, though I'm not sure our kids should look or take after me, since I'm a mess most of the time. But since we both want this, we both want that life together, then we should do this, right? Be together. Officially.

excuse me miss— but how dare you make me fall more in love with you than i already was? you've only been in one episode of the last of us, and your character already has me in a chokehold. bravo, by the way. the first episode was so good! i can't wait to see more of you in the coming weeks. @isamerceds

😍

your smile— you have a smile that could light up any room. you bring a sense of comfort to anyone around you with a simple smile, and it's so contagious. your personality — i have never met anyone as fun as you in my life. we aren't even from the same generation, but you have such an old soul about you, and it's just so fun being around you. i always know i'm gonna have a good laugh when you are around. your soul — i could write a whole novel about how wonderful of a human being you are. for such a young age you are full of knowledge and wisdom. it's like you've lived a thousand lifetimes and you are sharing everything you know with the rest of us. if you didn't notice i love and admire you so so much. my precious soul.

alycia: i told you i was a piece of shit, but i guess it's better late than never? i'm not a huge fan of watching a show of film when the hype is still be loud. it opens me up for spoilers and that's not the vibe i'm going for. we definitely support the latter because that leather? show stopping. ☺️ please continue to compliment me. i haven't had my daily dose of praise from you. but seriously, i am very proud of you. in case i don't say it enough.

jensen: wow. 84 years, glad you finally emerged from the cave, debnam-carey. i’ll take “hot” in any form — hero, anti-hero, guy-who-makes-bad-decisions-in-leather. you're hot as well, since we're complimenting each other here, i gotta be honest. appreciate you watching though, seriously. means a lot coming from you. and hey — you’re not a terrible friend. just... a very patient one.

alycia: you have and will always be my favorite muse. am i? please tell me you got rid of all the ones where i've just woken up and my hairs a mess. if those ever got out my reputation would be ruined. ☺️ you always know what to say to me to make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the room. alycia: been looking for something fun to do and exploring an unknown city with you sounds like the best way to spend my off time. you had me sold at balcony view. could think of a million things to do on that balcony with you. 😝

Jamie: You're going to make me blush, darling. Though I feel pretty good knowing that you've got so many photos of me on your phone, I can say the same about you on my phone. And we both know I'd much rather look at you too, since you always look stunning. Jamie: It's never too bold for you to show up, love, because you know I always want to see you. And seeing the sights of Prague sounds a lot better with you anyway, it would have been boring if I'd done it alone. I'll be seeing you soon then, and I'll send you my hotel information. I think you'll enjoy the place I'm staying in, the view from the balcony is pretty amazing.

😍

your energy — it's this beautiful mix of elegance and quiet fire. you walk into a room and people feel you before they even see you. there's something so magnetic about the way you carry yourself—graceful, but with an edge. your talent — watching you act is like watching someone breathe—it's so natural, but so powerful. you bring so much soul and nuance to every character, it’s unreal. you don’t just play roles, you become them, and it’s honestly mesmerizing to watch. your softness — you have this calm, warm presence that makes people feel safe just being around you. it’s in your smile, your laugh, the way you listen like you actually care. you’re one of those rare people who feels like a deep breath after a long day. also, side note: your accent? dangerous. please don’t talk to me unless you’re prepared for me to melt into the floor.

ALYCIA DEBNAM-CAREY Hair styled by Brad Mullins ahead of the Netflix Now Streaming event on February 6th 2025

alycia knew that something was different. she had spent so much time with jamie in the past, but it never felt like this. she had always kept him at arms length. the status of their relationship with one another had always gone unspoken. he had been through some rough patches in his life that she was happy to help him through, but she didn't think it was smart to bring up the feelings she had been carrying for him. truth be told she had always cared so deeply for him. through the good times and the bad— it had always been him. she just wasn't aware that she was the same for him.

"this place is magical." there was a level of admiration in her voice as she took in the sights of the castle. it was almost as if he had tossed them into a romantic, gothic fairytale. most might not have seen this for what it is, but alycia knew it was his way of showing her a romantic evening. her eyes softened when he said he had missed her too. it brought her a sense of comfort to know that he had craved her presence in his life, just as much as she had for him. "how could i say no to such an offer to spend all of my off time with you?" as he brought her forward, his much larger hands engulfing her cheeks as she welcomed his lips for a kiss. she could so easily get lost in his kiss. "i forgot just how much i needed this. how much i needed you." she had easily outed herself with her words, confessing to him just how much she needed him. their feelings for one another had always gone unspoken, and maybe it was time for that to change.

she left him to think about what she had said. she didn't expect him to pick up on the hints she had been dropping, although a small part of her hoped that he did. she didn't want to be the first one to bring up the obvious elephant in the room. she had been rejected and hurt so many times, and she knew she couldn't handle that from him. so she was leaving it in his hands, if by some chance he felt the same way she did. "so, where do we go first? you are the leader of this spooky adventure." her hands took his as she started to walk backwards, pulling him along in the direction she knew they were headed.

Ever since Alycia had come into his life, she'd offered a calmness that he would admit that he often chased after. His world was chaotic before her, and more often than not it was chaotic when she wasn't around, and he just felt better when she was near. It's part of why he always missed her when they didn't see each other for a while, and sometimes Jamie couldn't help but wish they didn't have to spend so much time apart. But he knew that bringing up spending more time together, being in each other's space more, would bring up feelings he wasn't sure he was ready to share or feelings he wasn't sure Alycia was ready to hear from him—or wanted to hear from him. Even though he felt it was pretty clear that he was attached to her, he wasn't sure if it was clear just how attached he was to her, and Jamie was content in that because he didn't want to lose her if he felt too much and she didn't feel the same way.

Though he would admit that he'd been dropping little hints recently, mostly because he was tired of hiding how he was feeling. But also because he was 36, and there was a part of him that wanted to settle down and start something with someone that made him happy, made him feel complete, and he knew Alycia could be that person, was probably that person. So he didn't hold back any affection when he greeted her at the airport, not giving a damn who was around to see them, and he wasted no time in taking her back to his hotel and showing her just how much he had missed her. Because worshiping her for hours was something he was well versed in, was something he knew that Alycia loved, and what he knew always brought them closer together.

Even though there was part of him that would have been content to stay in bed with Alycia all day long, especially since they had a lot of time to make up for. The call of having a little spooky fun was there, and he couldn't help but answer it, and he knew that Alycia would be having just as much fun with that as him. Plus, he had spent time doing his research to find the perfect place for them to visit, and he figured that not only were they visiting someplace haunted, but they were visiting a gorgeous gothic castle, and it was something they would both enjoy, something they could both take lots of pictures of. And the moment he saw Alycia in her little black dress, he knew he was going to take lots of pictures of her tonight, because she looked gorgeous, and he made sure to pass those compliments along with a kiss to her cheek. She was breathtaking, though, and sometimes Jamie couldn't help but ask what on earth she saw in him, because she could have anyone.

He was glad for the walk to the castle because the sights around them were gorgeous, and he just liked walking and having Alycia on his arm as well. He smiled when she agreed to go into the most haunted place of the castle, which made Jamie excited, he would admit. "I've been told it's stunning in there, so you're probably right about it being just as beautiful as it is spooky." They would have to take pictures in there for sure, and maybe they would capture a spirit or two. His attention was on Alycia, however, when she turned to him, and he looked down at her with a smile on his face. "I don't mind you sounding like a broken record, darling, since I love hearing that you've missed me. And I've missed you too, love." He smiled against her lips when she kissed him, the smile only growing at her next words. "Same here, you being here made me realize how much I want you around. I'm glad you're here and staying for a while." He couldn't help but shift so he could lift both his hands to cup her cheeks and bring their lips together in another kiss.
