Pre-wedding

[fiery_ring]

The arrangement was that Will would spend the night in Fred's caravan. What with the whole bad luck to see your bride before the wedding thing. The reality was that when he stumbled in at four in the morning, he fell over Wolf, Fred's guard dog, and nearly ended up with a broken arm.

Carlotta, unaware of this particular development, is getting ready in her caravan. Will is still in his boxers, in Fred's caravan, nursing a hangover.

Comments

She smiles warmly, relieved — until now she hadn't realized there was a seed of doubt and worry buried in her belly — to hear his answer.

"We'll see you there."


She waits a few moments, just to be sure he's all right on his own. Satisfied, she tilts her head back and smirks at Tommy, gently poking his side.

"That was a real nice thing y'did."

She's not just grateful, she's impressed. He might even find out just how impressed.

Later.

Will seems to have found his wedding legs and is off on his way. His very sparkly way.


Then the poke in Tommy's side, accompanied by the comment, earn Kate a slightly confused look.

"Uh-- what? The agreeing with you?"

"No," she laughs. "Well, yes. That too. I meant goin' in an' talkin' t'him for me. Helpin' him get ready."

"Oh. Well. No big deal." He shrugs.

A beat.

"Plus it ain't like I was gonna let you help a guy you never met before put his pants on. I mean, jeez, talk about scandalous."

His mouth twists wryly, and he offers her his elbow.

"Oh yes. I know how mindful y'are of keepin' up appearances."

Her lips twitch as she takes his arm.

"As a matter of fact, y'may want t'close your eyes so y'don't see this. C'mere."

She rises on her tiptoes and presses a kiss to his cheek, immediately wiping the smudge left by her lipstick off his skin.

"Now, c'mon, Handsome. We've got a weddin' t'catch."
