The rain came down without warning, soaking everyone on the dig before they had a chance to get back to their tents.

Ordinarily, they would just have worked on, stripped down to shorts and teeshirts, but with the rain came a bitingly cold wild.

Nick and Helen tumbled into their large tent, laughing as they struggled to get out of their wet clothes.

Helen’s lithe, strong body was tanned by sun and wind and, as ever, Nick was intoxicated by the sight of her.

He rolled her on top of him. “Marry me,” he begged.

She straddled him, smiling. “Maybe.”

Bittersweet, because we all know how it ended, but sounds so right ^_^

[fredbassett]

*nods* Not destined to end well.

I can see both of them saying those things.
Nick - exuberant, going with the flow.
Helen - keeping her options open, making him work for it.

Great.

Ooh, even then she was a wench.

[fredbassett]

I get the impression Helen would never make anything easy.

I can definitely see that happening and Helen would still in control/keeping her options open.

[fredbassett]
