Hello, Your posts are so great, especially your feral bruce ones which I adore! Keep up the amazing work, 😊
Thank you so much, sweetheart!!!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying them! :) I’m so sorry that it took me so long to reply but please, have some
Feral Bruce FuzzBeat Headlines
(they were previously called FuzzBeed but that makes no sense so they renamed themselves somewhere around 2012)
BRULEY? 10 Times Bruce Wayne Proved He Has A Taste For The Bad Girls!
Includes for example the time he said he liked her outfits when asked how he felt about her trying to rob Wayne Enterprises (in Gotham it’s custom that every big firm has a Good Luck Safe with 1Mil$ in gold);
the time they asked him on the red carpet to play f/m/k with Ivy, Harley and Selina and he went “I’m not killing any of them” and left (bit of a stretch but it’s FuzzBeat);
the time the GothGala (yearly charity event in Gotham) he was attending was busted by her and he was briefly taken hostage (complete with comically large bomg strapped to his chest) and he later on told the paps her show was “the highlight of his evening” while wearing a bright orange shock blanket over his tux)
-
BRUMAN? 10 Times Bruce Wayne Proved He Has A Taste For The Bad Boys!
Includes for example the time he said he respects Batman’s fashion sense and accessories;
The time he got caught sipping out of his batmug while accepting deliveries at the gate of Wayne Manor;
The time he straight up wore the utility belt in public because he got dressed on three hours of sleep. You might think neither of these instances really hint at him being into Batman as opposed to him just being a fan, but considering he has worn things his hook-ups left at his place before, it doesn’t seem to be that much of a stretch. (Things like earrings, diamond chokers, Blazers, cufflinks and at one memorable occasion a whole corset etc. It’s not that he really steals these items but some people try to Machiavelli their way into his life (and the headlines) that way and he mostly just goes “oh, you left that here? Then it’s mine now. Thanks.”)

Hot But Weird…But Hot? 20 Brucie Outfits That Left Us Feeling Tingly Yet Confused
Includes for example a pap photo of him in his workout gear – black tapered tracksuit bottoms, black cropped hoodie that says “FUCK” on the front and “OFF” on the back. There’s some grey peeking out at the abdomen but the paps don’t know it’s a leotard (he starts his gymnastics with gymnastics and dancing) with a velvet bat on the chest;
A streetstyle pap shot of him in a vintage teddy coat (it’s HUGE – he genuinely looks like he’s being hugged by a huge, fluffy-worn, sand-coloured teddy bear), vintage green ray bans, black ripped jeans, a dark green beanie and a white shirt, sipping a coffee out of a big garfield mug (yes, he’s carrying around a mug while taking a stroll through the city);
The time he went to a fashion show wearing plateau doc martens, dark jeans, black turtleneck, italian-cut suit jacket – everything’s black and rather tight, so it really brings out his shoulders, his waist and legs. Definitely a traditionally hot outfit, we’re all surprised.

Design This Bedroom and We’ll Tell You Whether You’d Survive A First Date With Brucie!
The only article on this list Bruce knows about, since Diana posted it in the group chat. Test says she’s too powerful and smart for him. Bruce doesn’t disagree. Arthur and Hal get a “You’re better off as friends”. Clark’s result says “Wow! Are you secretly dating Bruce Wayne?!”, which, considering it happens in their pining stage, makes them both extremely nervous.

Warnings: Drama sorry not in this chapter 😉...FLUFF! What is wrong with me? I never do a full chapter of fluff, now I’ve done two 🤣, swearing, matchmaking friends 🙌🏼, smut.
This parts in two parts- click the continue link at the bottom to finish the part off 😊
Characters belong to Pixelberry apart from OC’s; Duchess Evangeline Bruley and Duke Tobias Farbridge.
*****
Drake and Evie woke up the following morning. Both feeling content in each other’s presence.
“Morning.” Drake said as he stretched his arms. They had a slight bit of cramp in them as he held Evie tenderly all night.
“Good morning. Thank you for staying.”
“No need to thank me, Evie.”
“Can I plait your hair now?” Smirking at him, she saw the horror written across his face.
“No chance! We’re not kids now. I only let you two mess with my hair and paint my nails because you ganged up on me. I was thinking....”
“Thinking about when you’ll allow us to do it again?” She laughed before seeing the serious expression he was providing her.
“No. We have time to go to the graves before the bachelor and bachelorette parties later.”
“That’s today? It slipped my mind!” Fuck I need to go to the hospital.
“Yeah, I mean you don’t have to go- Savannah won’t be offended. But I have no choice. Shoot me now.”
“I’d rather not shoot you. Quick get out of bed then, we have a busy day.”
*****
Arriving at the graveyard, luckily they were all buried near each other. When the two of them rushed out of bed, they quickly wrote a letter each; one for Jackson and one for Evie’s parents. On route, the stopped by a shop and bought a teddy each as well as a balloon.
Jackson Walker, beloved husband and father to Drake and Savannah.
“Hey, Dad. I hope you’re up there still looking down on us all. Sav is getting married tomorrow, I hope you’ll be there with her on her big day. Bartie looks the spitting image of you everyday that goes by. The main reason for me coming today, was to let you know that you was going to be a grandfather again. However life didn’t work out that way- I hope you are looking after mine and Evie’s baby, no dipping it’s pacifier in the whiskey though! No wonder I took a liking to the brown liquid.” Evie placed her hand on his shoulder, laughing at Jackson’s antics- before kneeling next to him, intertwining her fingers with his. This little gesture gave him the encouragement to continue.
“I miss you so much Dad, I hope I am making you proud- even though I have made some mistakes. If I do anymore please give me a kick up the ass. I love you, I always will do.” Placing the teddy bear on the grave, along with the fresh flowers he had bought in memory of his father- he wiped away the tears that were rolling down his cheek.
“My little baby, I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you or your Mom. I am going to feel guilty for the rest of my life. I keep imagining what you’d have been like- obviously you’d have got your mom’s looks, and quite possibly her intelligence. But I’d have taught you skills that you need to know; including how to make s’mores. You can’t beat s’mores. I love you, I always will do.” Standing up, Evie pulled him into a hug. They lingered there for a while before making their way to her parents graves.
Duke Alexander Bruley and Duchess Michaela Bruley. Parents to Evangeline, both sadly missed.
“Hey you two. I bet you are ready to berate me. I can’t help it if danger likes to follow me. Surely? I’m just like a magnet. So Liam got married, Savannah and Duke Bertrand are getting married tomorrow. I know how you loved weddings Mother. When my time comes to get married, I hope that you are both there with me- in spirit. I wish you could walk me down the aisle father. Drakes here with me, you know the spare heir to our Duchy. I bet he’s glad that I survived.” Playfully nudging him, he held her. “Myself and Drake started a relationship, and I was pregnant. We lost our baby, but we hope that the both of you as well as Jackson are looking after your grandchild for us both. I miss you both so much. I wish I could just spend five minutes with the two of you if god gave us that chance.” Drake kissed her on the forehead, as she fought back the tears.
“To my little angel, I’m so sorry for not being there for you. For not protecting you like a mother should do. Daddy and I love you, we always will do. If you was a girl, you’d have been treat like a princess. If you was a boy, Daddy would have insisted on turning you into a Boy Scout before you could walk. Between myself, Daddy and Auntie Savannah we would have smothered you with love and attention. I love you.” Placing another teddy bear next to her parents grave, the two of them held on to the balloon before releasing it together.
“Thank you for doing this.”
“We both needed this closure, Drake. It was a sweet idea.”
“I better get to the palace, do you need a lift anywhere?”
“Could you drop me off home, I better find something to wear for tonight.”
“Of course I can.” Holding hands, they both slowly walked back to Drakes truck.
Do you think they’ll work things out?
Jackson you know as well as we do, that was the main reason you helped us get her out of that arrangement.
Yes and we are forever grateful for that, Jackson you knew before anyone did- they were too close to be just friends.
*****
Evie arrived at the hospital. She decided to go to there then straight to Ramsford for the bachelorette party. Spending as little time at home as she was on a tight schedule.
“Duchess Evangeline, it’s good to see you. If you are ready- please follow me into my office.” Evie nodded as she followed Dr Hussain.
“How are you feeling?”
“Fine considering I was stabbed and had a miscarriage.” Raising her eyebrows at the doctor, he gulped- he knew she would find out one day and was now regretting that this day had finally arrived.
“I’m sorry for the deceit Duchess Evangeline. The king and Duchess Olivia didn’t want to hurt your feelings. I went against hospital protocol and I feel awful for it. Do you have any questions regarding that or the wound?”
“Why did I miscarry? Was it due to that?”
“There are many reasons why women miscarry...”
“So it wasn’t due to me being stabbed?”
“Not necessarily.”
“Can I have children in the future?”
“I don’t see any problem as to why you won’t be able to conceive in the future. But if you do, I would suggest that you come in for regular scans. Are you planning on becoming pregnant soon?”
“No. I just wanted to know.”
“Would it be okay to have a scan now and have a look at your wound?” Evie nodded, attempting to hold the tears back.
*****
Bertrand and the men all met at a local bar in the capitol, he wasn’t one to let loose- but the men, especially Leo - had got the Duke drunk very quickly.
“Drake... I ... loveee your sister ... so much... I’m going... to look after her.... don’t you worry.”
“Good, because if not...”
“I know... you’ll beat the shit .. out of me...” Bertrand responded in between hip cupping.
“No, Bertrand. I’ll just never trust you again.” Leo and Drake assisted the Duke to sit down, as they did Bertrand was swaying before being sick all down himself.
“Liam get him some coffee, or he’s never going to make it to the wedding. And for a treat for the rest of us, I have a surprise. I’d like to introduce you to Brandy.”
“Leo, you know you’re the only single one here. I’d like to keep my bollocks thank you.” Liam smirked at his older brother.
“Drakes single too. C’mon you miseries- it’s bachelor night tradition to have a stripper!”
Drake shook his head, those words were technically true- he was single. But he wouldn’t do that to Evie.
“I might be ‘single’ but I don’t want to see another woman naked infront of me.” Liam pulled Drake to the side, as Leo looked frustrated at all the loyal men.
“Is everything okay?”
“Yeah why wouldn’t it be?”
“I heard that you slept at Evie’s last night...”
“I’m still in the doghouse Li. I don’t know if she will ever forgive me. We went to our parents graves today- sent a balloon up to the sky for the baby. Everything just hurts so much. I’m jealous of what you and Riley have- we could have had that if I didn’t fuck up.”
“Evie will come around. Why don’t you and I take Bertrand back? Did Savannah leave anything last night by the way?” I know she did, I just want to know why you haven’t mentioned it.
“Why would she leave anything?”
“Nevermind.”
*****
Evie arrived at Ramsford later than expected, out of breath she announced her presence as she barged through the door- all the women gawking at her as if she had grown ten heads. Savannah smiled softly at her.
“About time! Where the fuck have you been?” Olivia snapped at her, before pulling her in for a hug.
“Ouch! Why have you got daggers on you? It’s a bachelorette party! And I’ve been at the hospital- you know checking that the miscarriage was fully over- the miscarriage that you all kept from me.”
“Evie, I’m sorry. We didn’t know what to do.”
“It’s fine. I’m here now.” Riley overheard the conversation, feeling guilty that she was carrying a healthy baby.
“Hey.”
“Hey look at you... what are you feeding my niece or nephew?”
“Your niece is craving anything and everything.”
“It’s a girl?” Riley nodded, Evie bent down to Riley’s growing bump. “Hey darling, it’s auntie Evie here. We are going to have to convince your parents to call you Evie- what do you think?”
“I think you’re delusional, they are calling her Olivia!” The three women stood together talking about potential names for the future crown princess. Kiara and Penelope joined in, Evie suddenly felt an awkward situation occurring.
“Bonjour Evangeline, how are you doing? I’m so sorry about what happened.”
“Je vais bien merci d'avoir demandé. Tu n'es pas en colère contre moi Es-tu?”
Kiara pulled her in for a hug, no one knew what Evie had said apart from Kiara.
“Pourquoi serais-je en colère contre toi? Parce que je suis tombé amoureux de Drake. Il était à toi avant. Je ne veux pas que cela affecte notre amitié.”
“Myself and Drake would have never worked out, he was clearly in love with you all this time. I’m not angry. It’s not going to affect our friendship.” The women around them now were grateful for Kiara speaking English for once- now they understood what the conversation was about between the two intellectual women.
Savannah joined the circle, explaining that they were all going to have a pampering session.
“How are you feeling about tomorrow Duchess Beaumont to be?”
“Evie, I’m shitting myself. But it’s my day. I’ve been waiting for this day to come for ages. I wanted to ask you something...” Evie waited for her to elaborate, assuming it was going to be Savannah’s way of digging for gossip after she left abruptly last night.
“Will you be my maid of honor? We’ve always been like sisters in my eyes. You looked after me as if I was your younger sister. All my favourite memories are of us two, especially when we bullied Drake.”
“I haven’t got a dress?”
“I bought you one incase you said yes. It’s upstairs.”
“I’d love to be your maid of honor Sav.” Savannah’s eyes lit up, feeling relieved that she had accepted.
The night went by, the women socialised drinking mocktails- So Riley didn’t feel left out. As the women left one by one, there was only Savannah and Evie left- they took the opportunity to try the dress on. Luckily it was a perfect fit, flaunting all Evie’s assets.
“You look beautiful Evie!”
“I’ll second that.” Turning around, she saw Drake stood in the threshold.
“What are you doing here?” Savannah asked her brother, hoping he had heard her as his eyes were locked onto Evie.
“I came to inform you that Bertrand has passed out, but don’t worry. Luckily he didn’t get chance to see the stripper that Leo had organised.”
“I hope you didn’t either Drake!”
“Why? He’s single.” Evie said in a stern voice.
“That’s what Leo said, you don’t need to remind me Evie.”
“I’ll leave you both alone for a bit.” Savannah smiled at the two of them, hoping this wasn’t going to be the second wedding where neither was talking to each other.
“I’m sorry for snapping at you. I didn’t mean it in a nasty way.”
“Evie, we aren’t all like Leo. You should know that from my eighteenth.”
“When I offered for us all to be your strippers...” Drake nodded, before they both began laughing at the memory.
“I’ll see you tomorrow beautiful.” Drake didn’t want to leave her, if anything he wanted to scoop her up in his arms and stay with her again. As he left Evie looked at herself in the mirror, beautiful- the way he said that word pulled on her heart strings.
*****
Evie had decided to stay the night at Ramsford due to her new role with the wedding, getting up early- she prepared Savannah a champagne style breakfast.
“Aw Evie, you’ve done all this for me?”
“You have to start off your wedding day in style Sav! Eat up, then I’ll do your hair and make up like old times.” They did as they planned, Evie assisted Savannah into her lacy dress before exiting the room to get ready herself.
“You look beautiful princess.. I’m sorry I can’t be there to walk you down the aisle. I know Drake will be the proud big brother doing this role. I love you Sav.”
“Dad?”
“I’ll be there with you on your special day. I love you....”
“I love you too.” Crying as she looked at herself in the mirror, she was glad that Evie used waterproof mascara.
“You look beautiful Sav. Are you ready?” Drake asked as he walked into the room, Evie following shortly after. Turning to face her brother and maid of honor she noticed how Drake had his arm around her waist.
“Wow look at you two. Drake you look dashing, and Evie- are you trying to upstage me?” Pulling the two of them in for a hug, she whispered to the two of them that she loved them both.
“I’m ready to become Mrs Beaumont. With my two favourite people beside me. Let’s go!”
*****
“I now pronounce you man and wife, Duke and Duchess of Ramsford.” Liam said with a grin, before cheers erupted throughout the room. Bertrand lent down kissing his bride, his new wife with passion- he wasn’t sure if it was Savannah that had flooded his senses making him feel drunk or if he was actually still drunk from the previous nights antics.
During the ceremony, Evie sat in between Drake and Maxwell- towards the end of the ceremony Drake placed his hand into hers.
“You’re going to have competition now, with who’s the most beautiful Duchess in Cordonia.” He whispered into her ear. “I was going to compliment you on how handsome you look- but I’ve changed my mind.”
“I take it back, there’s no competition. It’ll always be you.”
“It better be too. I think you’re needed for family photos, I’ll see you at the reception.”
*****
The guests all gathered around for speeches, all praising the newly married couple. Afterwards the guests mingled with each other, Drakes eyes watched Evie’s every movement- Liam noticed and shook his head.
“Why are you sat with us? Go and speak to her.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about your Majesty.”
“Drake, your eyes are following Evie around. Why not make your legs do that too?”
“Okay agent bossy pants!”
“Queen bossy pants, Walker. Do as I command. You don’t want to piss off a pregnant Queen!”
“Your majesties, I hate you both right now, because you are both right. I need to talk to her.” Liam pat him on the shoulder, providing him with an encouraging smile. Handing him a whiskey, Liam knew that his friend was cutting down on alcohol- but knew he would need a bit of Dutch courage. Drake ambled towards Evie, Olivia and Bastien after doing a detour via the DJ. It’s just Evie, you love her- you know she has some love for you. Stop being a nervous wreck.
“Drake, take a seat son.”
“Thanks Bastien, but I just wanted to talk to Evie....” The three of them waited for him to continue, but the words failed to escape from his lips.
“Walker come on she hasn’t got all night. Just spit it out.” Gulping, he took a deep breath.
“Duchess Evangeline, may I have this dance?” Holding his hand out to her, she smiled- standing up he placed his arm around her waist as he guided her towards the dance floor.
“There’s no music yet. We look idiots stood here. You’re smiling, a lot more than usual. What’s up?”
“I requested the next song- I hope you like it, the lyrics mean something to me, to us. Hopefully you’ll understand. It’s my sisters wedding day, even though I’m not thrilled with her choice- Bertrand has stepped up though. He makes her happy, so the protective big brother is happy.”
Oh thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
“I hope that roads over now, Evie I hope that you’ll forgive me?” Looking into her eyes, she noticed sorrow and hope. Cupping his cheek, she provided him with a smile.
“I already have done. I just don’t want to rush into things like we did before and for it to fuck up.”
“It’s not going to, you are my priority. I don’t have to look after Sav now. Just you and I. I don’t want anything to take you away from me again.”
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Even though it was Savannah’s and Bertrand’s day, everyone gathered around watching the two of them slowly dance, whispering to each other as they gazed lovingly into each other’s eye.
“Congratulations baby.” Bianca interrupted the silence.
“Thank you Bianca.” Ignoring her mother’s presence, she focused her gaze towards her brother instead.
“That’s no way to speak to your mother.”
“I will speak to you how I like. You are lucky that Liam allowed you to come. You are not ruining my day. You are not going to mess mine or Drakes lives up anymore. Have a look at your son, MOM. He is trying his hardest to get his rebuild relationship after all the hurt you caused. Can’t you see how much he loves her?”
“He may love her darling, but she’s not right for him...”
“She is perfect for him... I’ve never seen him smile this much...”
“He did with Riley...” Maxwell interrupted whilst overhearing the conversation. Savannah gave him a stern look, encouraging him to change the subject. “Why don’t we all go and join them. Turn this song to the more upbeat type, the DJ Sammy version- have a dance-off?”
“No, leave them to have this dance alone. Don’t you agree Duchess Savannah?” Liam stood along side Savannah, placing a comforting arm around her waist- whilst sternly looking at Bianca. He was ready to defend anyone that Bianca came in contact with - hoping that his kindness wouldn’t be taken advantage of.
“Yes, your Majesty. Leave my brother and Evie to have this dance. Mom, if you want to make amends- get help. Prove that you want to change, before you lose everyone and everything. Evie is potentially going to be your daughter in law one of these days.” Everyone looked at Savannah wondering what she knew, she wouldn’t bring that up without a reasoning. “Accept the fact that your son loves her and forget this vendetta. The only person that has been in the wrong all these years is you- no one else.” Bianca felt all eyes on her for a split second, before they reverted to Drake and Evie. The guard took her to the nearest table to sit down, offering her a drink of water.
“Who are you?” Bianca jumped, believing her imagination was playing tricks on her. Being sober, this scared the shit out of her. “You are not the woman I fell in love with. That woman would be encouraging her son to be happy with the woman he has always loved.
“You knew? All this time...”
“Yes, I knew a few days before I left you all. He will never forgive you if he lost her. Michaela and Alexander have forgiven you. Evie has forgiven you for everything. As our beautiful daughter said, make amends.... before it’s too late...”
“Jackson....”
“Do the right thing Bi... I need you to... you owe it to everyone..until we meet again, my love.”
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
“You’ve been in my life all these years, every time I’m with you- you bring my smile out. I’ll wait an eternity to get what to what we was, if you want that.” Drake whispered to Evie, he knew he was potentially sounding desperate with everything he was saying, but he needed her to know that he was committed to them both.
Yeah nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
Twirling her around effortlessly, she turned back to face him- standing on her tip toes, she pulled him towards her and kissed him on the lips in a small yet warm smooth. Sparks flew in every direction, and the world slowly disappeared around them. Hoping that this kiss was the beginning of all of their worries and troubles becoming distant memories, possibly starting a fresh. Their lips were moving in perfect sync, breaking the kiss- they turned to face everyone who were silently cheering them, all wearing the same smile as if it was a reflection from a mirror. His hands returned towards her waist; pulling her closer, as he lent down for another kiss - this time it was deeper, more passionate. Unexpectedly he lift her in the air, as he spun them around- holding her tightly, she held on to him tightly before he put her back down onto the ground. Wrapping his arms around her again, she rest her head onto his chest as they began to sway to the music.
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Yeah and love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, yeah
“Neither of them have mentioned about Paris. Do you think they were stalling? Waiting to see what happened between the two of them?” Riley asked Liam, as they watched their two friends hold each other lovingly on the dance floor.
“I’m not sure? I’d have assumed Drake would have mentioned something even if Evie didn’t. I hinted to him but he seemed clueless.”
“I’m surprised Maxwell hasn’t blurted it out yet. Do you think they will get back together? Officially?”
“I hope so, I hope Biancas actions haven’t prevented that from happening. Before we go on our honeymoon in a couple of days, why don’t I talk to Drake and you talk to Evie?”
“Can I talk to Drake? I know him more than I do Evie. You talk to her. Who knows tonight they may go back to what they were.”
“If they don’t, I’ll talk to Evie and you talk to Drake. I love you my Queen.”
“I love you too my king.” Holding Riley, he placed one hand over her growing bump.
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah I'll be standin' there by you
“Through the good times and the bad... how many more bad times do we have to go through?” Tears began to form in Evie’s eyes as she reiterated the lyrics, thinking back to what the two of them had suffered over the years.
“Hopefully none, but I’ll be standing by you at all times.. I’ll protect you, and love you for the rest of my life.” Sounding sincere, she didn’t want to be stubborn and give up what they once had. It was the happiest she had ever been, and she assumed it was with him.
“I love you Drake Walker.”
“I love you too Evangeline Grace Bruley.”
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, heaven, oooh
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
“You’re all that I want and need, don’t you forget that. Thank you for the dance Duchess.” Kneeling onto one knee, he kissed her stomach, letting it linger there for a moment.
“I wish things were different...” He whispered, hoping that no one heard him.
“Drake, Evie?” Hearing her voice, Drake immediately stood up in front of Evie protecting her.
“What do you want? Are you drunk?”
“Son, I’m a horrible person. I’m sober. I’m not allowed to drink. It was the condition that I had to keep to in order to attend my daughters wedding. I’m sorry for all the hurt I’ve caused. I know that isn’t going to be enough. Evie?”
“Yes?” Bianca moved closer to her, Evie noticed sorrow in eyes. Placing her hand on Evie’s arm, she flinched- not understanding why as the woman was surrounded by guards.
“Don’t you dare touch her!” Drake forced his mothers hands away, not wanting to cause a scene but needing to protect the woman he loved.
“I’m sorry. Evie I know my words will never be accepted, and I’m not blaming my alcohol addiction for my past actions. But I truly am sorry for all the hurt I’ve caused; for the death of your parents, for hurting you and my grandchild.”
“Our baby wasn’t your grandchild. You don’t deserve the title of grandmother.”
“Drake!”
“Evie, she doesn’t deserve your sympathy.”
“Savannah and Bertrand doesn’t deserve you both causing a scene on their special day. Bianca, thank you for your apology. It’ll take time to forgive you, but I will never forget.”
“Can you help me? I need help...”
“Only you can help yourself.” Evie gave Drake a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you for the dance. I’ll talk to you later.”
*****
The night came towards an end, and everyone began to retire to their rooms. Drake picked Maxwell up as he was that intoxicated he couldn’t remember his own name.
“Who are you?”
“Drake. You know who I am.” Maxwell’s drunk mind started to function.
“You’re going to Paris.”
“No I’m not. But you’re going in a cold shower if you carry on talking shit.”
Once he had assisted Max in his bed, he headed towards Evie’s room- they never got the chance to talk after their dance and conversation with Bianca. Knocking on the door, he hoped that she would answer.
“Hey, what’s the matter?”
“I just wanted to make sure you got to your room okay, and to say goodnight.”
“I haven’t been drinking that much so it would have been slightly embarrassing if i couldn’t figure the way to my room.”
“Fair point. Anyway, goodnight.” Drake kissed her on the cheek, before he could escape- she dragged him into her room by pulling on his tie.
“Stay with me? Let me lay in your arms?”

Advantage Chiropractic is excited to announce that they are expanding their service area to include the city of Waukesha, WI. This expansion will allow more people in southeastern Wisconsin to benefit from the high-quality chiropractic care and neuropathy treatments that Advantage Chiropractic offers. Patients in the Waukesha area who are suffering from sciatica relief or any other type of injury can now receive treatment from one of the most popular chiropractors in town. “Residents from Waukesha County come to see us for chiropractic care in search of pain relief, improvement in movement and function, and an overall better quality of life,” said Dr. Zachary Bruley of Advantage Chiropractic. “We are ecstatic to be able to offer our services to an even larger community and help more people live pain-free.”
Waukesha, WI, is a beautiful city with a lot to offer its residents. However, the natural beauty of the area belies the fact that many residents suffer from back pain caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture and sitting for long periods of time. Chiropractors provide a natural, drug-free approach to health care that can help relieve back pain and improve overall health. They can also help prevent injuries by teaching patients how to properly care for their bodies and maintain good posture.
Injury chiropractors, sciatica relief, and neuropathy treatments are now a growing trend and have been shown to be very effective. More and more people are turning to these types of treatments as an alternative to traditional medicine. For years, Advantage Chiropractic has been providing quality chiropractic care throughout New Berlin and Brookfield communities. With this new expansion into Waukesha County, residents will now have convenient access to the quality care and services Advantage Chiropractic is known for.

Quote
1950s Britain was a bleak period for militant feminism. In the aftermath of World War II, a new emphasis was placed on companionate marriage and the nuclear family as a foundation of the new welfare state.[133][134] In 1951, the proportion of adult women who were (or had been) married was 75%; more specifically, 84.8% of women between the ages of 45 and 49 were married.[135] At that time: "marriage was more popular than ever before."[136] In 1953, a popular book of advice for women states: "A happy marriage may be seen, not as a holy state or something to which a few may luckily attain, but rather as the best course, the simplest, and the easiest way of life for us all".[137] While at the end of the war, childcare facilities were closed and assistance for working women became limited, the social reforms implemented by the new welfare state included family allowances meant to subsidize families, that is, to support women in the "capacity as wife and mother."[134] Sue Bruley argues that "the progressive vision of the New Britain of 1945 was flawed by a fundamentally conservative view of women".[138] Women's commitment to companionate marriage was echoed by the popular media: films, radio and popular women's magazines. In the 1950s, women's magazines had considerable influence on forming opinion in all walks of life, including the attitude to women's employment. Nevertheless, 1950s Britain saw several strides towards the parity of women, such as equal pay for teachers (1952) and for men and women in the civil service (1954), thanks to activists like Edith Summerskill, who fought for women's causes both in parliament and in the traditional non-party pressure groups throughout the 1950s.[139] Barbara Caine argues: "Ironically here, as with the vote, success was sometimes the worst enemy of organised feminism, as the achievement of each goal brought to an end the campaign which had been organised around it, leaving nothing in its place."[140] Feminist writers of that period, such as Alva Myrdal and Viola Klein, started to allow for the possibility that women should be able to combine home with outside employment. 1950s’ form of feminism is often derogatorily termed "welfare feminism."[141] Indeed, many activists went to great length to stress that their position was that of ‘reasonable modern feminism,’ which accepted sexual diversity, and sought to establish what women's social contribution was rather than emphasizing equality or the similarity of the sexes. Feminism in 1950s England was strongly connected to social responsibility and involved the well-being of society as a whole. This often came at the cost of the liberation and personal fulfillment of self-declared feminists. Even those women who regarded themselves as feminists strongly endorsed prevailing ideas about the primacy of children's needs, as advocated, for example, by John Bowlby the head of the Children's Department at the Tavistock Clinic, who published extensively throughout the 1950s and by Donald Winnicott who promoted through radio broadcasts and in the press the idea of the home as a private emotional world in which mother and child are bound to each other and in which the mother has control and finds freedom to fulfill herself.[142]

It’s a sad day for Queer Eye fans and dog lovers.
Bruley the French bulldog, who appeared on seasons two and three of the Emmy-winning makeover show, has died of a heart attack, his owner Michelle Silva, a producer on Queer Eye, announced on Instagram Thursday.
“My whole heart. My love bug. My best friend. My constant. My soul mate. My everything. I brought him home when he was 9 weeks old on a rainy day in New York City,” Silva wrote in a lengthy, emotional Instagram tribute to the little dog on his account. “Ten years later on a rainy day in LA, he passed away in my arms on my bedroom floor.”
“Bru had been suffering from heart problems, and an instant heart attack was a possibility,” Silva explained. “He just had too much love and heart for his physical body.”
Silva continued to remember fondly Bruley’s love for traveling and staring out airplane windows, for his doggy kisses and, of course, his stardom with the Fab 5 on Queer Eye. 
“In the last year of his life, he found fame!” Silva wrote. “Over the course of 16 episodes of @queereye, in just a few moments on screen, you guys all got a glimpse of the Bru I knew and loved. He was hilarious, stubborn, sometimes inappropriate, and always a sucker for a snack.”
View this post on Instagram My whole heart. My love bug. My best friend. My constant. My soul mate. My everything. I brought him home when he was 9 weeks old on a rainy day in New York City. Ten years later on a rainy day in LA, he passed away in my arms on my bedroom floor. Bru had been suffering from heart problems, and an instant heart attack was a possibility. He just had too much love and heart for his physical body. It all happened so fast, but I held him as he took his last breath, and I was able to tell him I loved him the very most. I told him everyday I loved him more than anything in the world, and I reminded him of that over and over as he slipped out of this life. My best friend and boyfriend held us both. He gave me more than I could have ever given him, and I was able to thank him for allowing me to be his mom. He chose me. We got to experience so much together; he loved traveling on planes and looking out the window! He was the ultimate copilot in the car when he wasn’t dangerously sprawled out across my lap as I drove. He was so very loved by my family and friends and even “non dog people.” He mastered the “jump kiss,” and I always had to explain to people that he wouldn’t buy you dinner first, he just went in for the full make-out. In the last year of his life, he found fame! Over the course of 16 episodes of @queereye, in just a few moments on screen, you guys all got a glimpse of the Bru I knew and loved. He was hilarious, stubborn, sometimes inappropriate, and always a sucker for a snack. He was pure love. It’s been so fun capturing his spirit and sharing more with you all here. I’ve taken a few days to process and grieve and figure out what’s next. I’ve realized, I don’t want to stop sharing the best of Bru. I also want to show you a little of what it was like the last few months dealing with an ailing dog in heart failure as more and more dogs are being diagnosed with the same issues. I was so close to completing Bru’s website with long-awaited merch. I’ll get there in time. I’ve also been exploring non-profit opportunities and getting involved in bulldog rescue. There is so much Bru inspired, and it’s so much bigger than I even realized. (Cont. below)

“He was pure love. It’s been so fun capturing his spirit and sharing more with you all here. I’ve taken a few days to process and grieve and figure out what’s next,” Silva continued, saying that she doesn’t “want to stop sharing the best of Bru,” and that she hopes to launch Bruley-inspired merchandise and work with bulldog rescue nonprofit opportunities soon.
“There is so much Bru inspired, and it’s so much bigger than I even realized,” she wrote.
Antoni Porowski, the food expert out of the Fab 5, shared a sweet tribute to the pooch on his Instagram Story, writing, “rest in puppy peace, because all dogs go to heaven, little one.”
