So there was this HUGE A/N at the beginning off this, but go the feeling it was putting people off, so I shall simply say – read, enjoy and (please, maybe?) review.
"Will, shush!" I giggled, picking dried ivy out of my hair. "They'll hear us!"
"And but love me, let them find me here! My life were better ended by their hate than prolonged wanting of thy love." He declared dramatically, I dissolved into titters once more. The moon was full, the sky was clear, the grass thick and damp with dew, I felt deliciously, gloriously alive.
"I knew it was a bad idea for father to send you to that dame school!"
Wearing the breeches and shirt I had stolen from our groom's boy, and blissfully free of stays, it was easy to climb up and down the thick ivy that covered out house. I could clamber up the branches, hide the clothes, slip into bed and awake in the morning, slightly tired mayhap, but my moonlight trysts with my fiancé still undiscovered.
I pressed a quick kiss on Will's lips, and in a few moments was tumbling over the balcony.
"Will, Will!" I hissed as loudly as I dared to the rapidly disappearing figure. It turned, and in the dim light I caught a glimpse of the face I had known and loved since girlhood. "Parting, is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow!"
"Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast." Was the faint reply, before the dark figure exited through the shadowy orchard gate.
I turned away from the balcony, a smile playing about my lips. I did not notice the candle, grown short; with a weak light competing against the bright young moon. The voice then, when it came, was an utter shock, and I jumped nearly out of my skin.
"Elizabeth."
