He'd made a promise, and he intends to deliver. He just also intends to make sure it's not the sort of thing that draws an audience - especially not any of the kids.
It takes a little while to find a clearing further out but within reasonable distance of the hut, then a little bit longer to set it up with a waterproof chest and some basic equipment. But eventually it's ready, or good enough as.
Once the goats are taken care of for the morning, he takes up position under the usual shade tree to scratch out a few notes in his latest journal and to wait for Sharon to drop by. If she's got time this afternoon, if she's not busy with Shuri or Ayo, well, then they'll see.

"You've already swept me off my feet," she teases, her arms going comfortably around his neck. "You don't need to do it literally."
But it is fun.

Her hair bounces over her shoulders and flies out behind her as he smiles and spins them, as she laughs, and she hopes he never stops, hopes this moment never ends, when they're both so happy and he's so playful and she feels like she's glowing like one of the lightbulbs from how much she loves him.
She grins at him and lifts her arms from around his neck, letting her weight be supported just by the arm around her waist as she holds her arms out like wings.

Sharon holds out her arms, and he feels his heart turn over in his chest at the visible sign of her trust in him. Bucky spins around again and again, faster this time, then draws her down and wraps her up in a tight embrace as he leans in to kiss her.

"I love seeing you so happy," she murmurs, and kisses him again. "I love playing games with you. I love you, so much."

"I love you too," he whispers, and kisses her back.

The music drifts around them, and he moves them, slow and sweet and swaying. She can feel the steady beat of his heart against her own chest and the warmth of his breath through the fabric of her dress as he rests his head on her shoulder.
She tucks her head against his, bright hair blending softly with dark, and closes her eyes to lose herself in the moment.

At some point, though, a thought occurs to him and he lifts his head to look down at her. "You must be starving. Let me make you a snack?"
no subject
Stepping back, she lets him go, only to take his hand in hers and lead him over to the table. There's a large amount of fresh fruit, of course, cut up and whole, both, and cheeses, along with some of the Wakandan dishes they've both come to like. "You must be getting a little peckish, too. That super soldier metabolism must burn like the sun."

She pulls the sweating bottle of champagne from the ice bucket. "This, I had to get from the local."
no subject
He grins at the champagne, and turns the smile on her. "I should have dressed up too."

"I don't hold a candle to you, though."

Sharon puts a napkin over the cork and works it carefully out until it releases with a pop!
She grins as she carefully pours some of the fizzing champagne into the flutes she'd brought. "I thought I'd try out a new look... for me. It works, huh?"

"I thought it might be nice," she admits. "For you. Something you might have liked back then, too."

"Let's have our supper."
