Some mild het for this first Monday in March.

The very late conclusion to my two previous Huddlescombe stories:
Huddlescombe Society for the Prevention of Moral Turpitude
Delight


As the knock sounded, Napoleon’s mouth broke into a grin of anticipation. He smoothed the front of his red silk robe and crossed to the door. His smile faltered at the sight of a stout, gray-haired chambermaid.

“Mr. Solo?” she asked. He nodded, his eyes darting up and down the otherwise empty hotel corridor.

The woman held out a brown paper parcel. “Compliments of Miss Leyla.”

Napoleon accepted the package with reluctance. The paper crackled as the lightweight contents shifted in his grasp. “Thank you.”

It was an evening not fraught with perils for Solo and Kuryakin, instead it was one filled laughter and relaxation.

Along with a number of agents from headquarters in New York, they were in the ‘Oasis Cafe’ located across the corridor from the ‘Lounge Restaurant’ in the Peacock Alley lounge and cafe region o of the Waldorf-Astoria.

The cafe had been rented out for the evening and was hosting a small soiree in honor of the birthday of Leo Grattan Waverly, the grandson of Alexander and Estelle Waverly.

A Promise - Short Affair - March 6th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Prompts - Dance/Blue
Word Count - 316

The evening had been wonderful but was coming to an end far too soon. The dance floor was filled with young soldiers, all of whom were clinging, a little more tightly than they would ever admit, to their girls. They were all scared of the battles they were heading to, but they couldn’t allow their wives and girlfriends to know it. They were men, and they had to be brave.

Alexander Waverly carefully guided Veronica Prescott in a slow waltz. He allowed himself to get lost in her smiling blue eyes, which perfectly matched the gown she was wearing. He was nervous about heading to war, but there was something else he had to do which made battle pale into insignificance.

When the last dance was finished, and it was time for everyone to leave, Alexander drew Veronica aside. He invited her to sit down before kneeling on one knee. Veronica gasped. She knew what was about to happen, but managed to keep silent.

“My dear Veronica,” Alexander began, as though writing a letter. “I’m not one for gushing sentimentality, but I want to make a promise to you, provided you can make a promise to me.”

“Anything for you, Alex, you know that.”

Extracting a small jewellery box from his pocket, Alexander opened it to reveal a ring, which housed a small, red garnet. He chose the stone deliberately because it represented passionate devotion.

“If I promise to come back to you, will you promise to marry me upon my return?”

“Of course I will, my darling,” Veronica replied, holding her left hand out for her new fiancé to slip the ring on. “Just make sure that you do return.”

“You have my word on it.”

Rising to his feet, Alexander pulled Veronica up and into an embrace. He then kissed her lightly.

“I won’t be so fearful knowing I have you waiting for me.”
