As had been the long-standing tradition the summer Fête was held in the Hospital grounds and also in keeping with tradition it was extremely well attended.
It was a glorious day with
not a cloud in the sky but it was extremely hot so Heather had insisted
additional tented areas should be provided and free bottled water.
Fortunately a lot of money
was raised for good causes, and no one suffered any ill effects of the heat,
well almost no one.
Caroline Wells
had a popup coffee stall at the Summer Fête, and she did the early stint and
spent the rest of the day with Austin enjoying all the stalls and attractions,
and for her at least it felt like they were a proper couple.
It was at the end
of the day when all the punters had left and a few helpers were milling around
packing up the stalls, Heather was in the refreshments tent, packing away the
un-drunk water when Frazer happened along.
“Ah Heather” he
said “There you are”
“Hello Frazer”
“It’s been a
wonderful success” he said
“You sound
surprised” Heather said
“Well I am a bit”
he confessed and sat down
“We obviously
make a good team” she offered as she picked up a box of water.
“Yes, we do” he
agreed just as Heather stumbled and dropped the box she was carrying
“Damn it” she
said and crouched down to pick it up then she looked up at him and smiled
“Sorry”
Which was when he
leant towards her and kissed her and more to the point she kissed him back.
When their lips
parted, they looked at each other and she said
“Well I think
that has made all the hard work worthwhile”
“Exactly what I
was thinking” he agreed, and they kissed again.
