solstice

I skipped between the dancers, twirling my skirts. The seated, masked musicians didn__ look up at me as I leaped before them, dancing in place. No chains, no boundaries__ust me and the music, dancing and dancing. I wasn__ faerie, but I was a part of this earth, and the earth was a part of me, and I would be content to dance upon it for the rest of my life.One of the musicians looked up from his fiddling, and I halted.Sweat gleamed on the strong column of his neck as he rested his chin upon the dark wood of the fiddle. He__ rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing the cords of muscle along his forearms. He had once mentioned that he would have liked to be a traveling minstrel if not a warrior or a High Lord__ow, hearing him play, I knew he could have made a fortune from it.____ sorry, Tam,_ Lucien panted, appearing from nowhere. __ left her alone for a little at one of the food tables, and when I caught up to her, she was drinking the wine, and___amlin didn__ pause in his playing. His golden hair damp with sweat, he looked marvelously handsome__ven though I couldn__ see most of his face. He gave me a feral smile as I began to dance in place before him. ____l look after her,_ Tamlin murmured above the music, and I glowed, my dancing becoming faster. __o enjoy yourself._ Lucien fled.I shouted over the music, __ don__ need a keeper!_ I wanted to spin and spin and spin.__o, you don__,_ Tamlin said, never once stumbling over his playing. How his bow did dance upon the strings, his fingers sturdy and strong, no signs of those claws that I had come to stop fearing _ __ance, Feyre,_ he whispered.So I did.I was loosened, a top whirling around and around, and I didn__ know who I danced with or what they looked like, only that I had become the music and the fire and the night, and there was nothing that could slow me down.Through it all, Tamlin and his musicians played such joyous music that I didn__ think the world could contain it all. I sashayed over to him, my faerie lord, my protector and warrior, my friend, and danced before him. He grinned at me, and I didn__ break my dancing as he rose from his seat and knelt before me in the grass, offering up a solo on his fiddle to me.
