Inside the Hughes Group, Silas Grant and Mia Grant's official announcement today was seen as nothing short of pouring oil on the fire.
Mia Grant hadn't been put under a microscope by the public yet. She could have easily remained out of the spotlight, and once the internet's fervor died down, the whole affair would have been quickly forgotten.
When the announcement went public, netizens were stunned by the move.
But to the surprise of everyone at the Hughes Group, the announcement had a bizarrely wonderful effect. Public attention was inexplicably diverted.
The tide of public opinion online shifted quickly.
People were shocked that the couple would so brazenly declare their love while caught in a media firestorm, but they also found it... a little romantic.
Netizens quipped that by making the announcement today, the couple seemed to be standing on the edge of a precipice, looking down on the entire world before pulling each other into a reckless kiss.
