"And it's no ney never," Fern stamped her feet three times, smiling widely as she sang. "No ney never, no more! Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more!" She spun on one foot, revelling in the warmth of the sunlight filling the cozy kitchen.
Her grin widened as one of her partners opened the door, his arms full of groceries. "James!" She cried happily. He smiled fondly as he set them on the counter, taking her hand and giving her a twirl as he admired the way the sunlight illuminated her strong features.
"Aww, look at my gorgeous honeys." Allena, their partner, stood in the doorway, eyes shining with love as she watched the scene before her. "I asked her for credit, she answered me nay! We get plenty o' your kind, each and every day!" Allena chuckled as she began to put away the abandoned groceries, maneuvering around the pair until they got the message and twirled right out the back door to dance in the yard.
James lifted Fern off her feet, her wild laughter filling the air as she braced her hands on his shoulders. "Never will I play the wild roverrrr, noo moooooooore!" He plopped her back on her feet, and she wasted no time, kicking her feet to the beat of the Celtic song.
"We're having spaghetti and meatballs for dinner!" Allena called from the kitchen, and Fern and James exchanged gleeful grins. "I'll get the herbs!" Fern replied, kneeling before her garden as James went inside to watch the noodles while Allena crushed the tomatoes for the sauce.
Humming to herself as she picked, a contented smile stole over her lips as she listened to her partners joking in the kitchen. This was a better happily ever after than she could've imagined.
