Andrew gave a sheepish grin and said, "Oi, sorry, mate." He laughed as she tucked her arm beneath his, then he led her away from the coconut stand. "Are ye hungry?" he asked, knowing there would be food somewhere around the place.

"Aye, I'd love sum't to eat," she said, hanging off his arm. "There's a pie stall over there. Though... you might have seen enough pies for a lifetime." she giggled. "And I will, soon enough. Say, what if we leave this place and get some fish and chips somewhere more quiet?"

"Oi, I've seen lots o' pies." Pastries and... surprisingly few other pies... But there was no need to elaborate and the writer is giggling her fool head off. She digresses, though.

"I would love ta take ye somewhere quiet." He said in agreement, then started leading them back toward his buggy.

Rose let him lead her to the buggy and she sat herself down. "I've never been to t' chippy in a carriage," she said, once again blissfully unaware of any double meanings.

He smiled at her as he helped her up into the buggy, then he climbed in next to her and got the horse a moving. The pace he set was sedate and peaceful. "I hope ye had fun at the fair, lass. I know I did." He gave a grin before he started to hum a little ditty.

"Oh, I daresay I haven't had so much fun in years." She reached up and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you." Then she leaned her head against his arm, and looked ahead at the horse, cherishing the moment of bliss.

"I am glad ye are having fun, Rose," he murmured and grinned softly at the kiss she planted on his cheek. He truly meant it, too. "I am having fun too, lass," he added and kept the pace sedate.

Rose looked up at him when he said that and she smiled, but she did not say anything, for she did not want to disrupt the peace she was feeling. She just sat there, leaning against his arm and staring at the horse, with a satisfied smile on her face.

He would have wrapped his arm around her, but he decided against it because of the impropriety of it. He continued to sing and the horse plodded on with rhythmic hoofbeats. By the time they made it to the fish and chips place, he drew the buggy to a halt and said, "We're here."

Rose sat listening quietly, very content indeed, and she almost resented the fact that they arrived at the fish and chips place. She was really quite hungry though, and so she hopped off. "I'm starvin'!" she said, though her merry tone hardly matched the content.
