Part 2

By Tiger



Eric stood there and watched her as she went about her
work. Grinning wickedly, he remembered that there was
to be a dance soon with all the ladies participating.
He asked for some directions, then he got himself
outfitted quickly. 

Diane quickly changed from "Rhiannon" to a fully outfitted 
Scot..in a flash. She and the other dancers lined up and 
began to dance.

Suddenly in all the swirl of color, Eric was there. 

Immediately by his steps he made it know that he chose her!  

As the dance ended, she was out of breath and laughing, as 
was he. Taking her by the hand, he led her away from the 
dance, to someplace private. They laughed and talked for a 
while. 

He slipped a Claddaugh ring onto her hand. She smiled at 
that. They talked again, until Diane had to be back at the 
booth as Rhiannon. He walked her out to the tent, and took 
her inside. 

"Read me a fortune, Mistress, ours together." She shuffled 
the deck and drew one... The Lovers. Her hand shook. It was 
in the positive position. His eyes lit up at that. "Ah, the 
Lovers is it? That is exactly what I have in me devilish 
mind for ye! But not yet!" he grinned. "Ye have customers 
awaiting the magic of Rhiannon. He slipped 
outside..."Beware, Mistress. I put ye on notice that I will 
be back to claim ye..." then he was gone. 

The Games continued until 2 am..She had read many fortunes 
that night, and was tired and foggy when a familiar voice 
cut through the mountain night.."Mistress, be ye there?" 

"Aye Milord, I be here.. she replied brightening.
