Black Dick's Temple, Whitley Beaumont, West Yorkshire

Many follies have lurid tales attached telling of wicked acts and/or ghostly goings-on and a classical temple, high on the Whitley Beaumont estate near Kirkheaton, doesn’t disappoint. It is known locally as Black Dick’s Temple, after Whitley Beaumont’s owner in the early seventeenth century, Sir Richard Beaumont. Local legends tell that Sir Richard ran up such huge debts gambling that he had to…

Warning: mature situations, a curse word or two; a smidge of both angst & fluff

A/N: I am participating in this week's @wackydrabbles prompt #125: "I've never seen one that big." It will be bold in the text. Also, I couldn't finish 2021 without at least doing one more Royal Roulette 'challenge' (put music on shuffle, find inspiration from first song that pops up), and this has been hanging out with me since the Spring.

A/N 2: This is a rewrite of Savannah Walker's wedding. BIG thanks to our sweet friend, cheerleader, and inspiration-giver @kat-tia801 for pre-reading! These characters belong to our friends at Pixelberry!

----------

A gentle breeze of the cool night charms the warm summer air. Fireflies pirouette effortlessly with a dazzling sea of silver stars against a midnight Texas sky. The twinkling of lights cast a romantic ambiance to the closing of a dreamy, hill country ceremony.

She sits alone on a decorative hay bale; her wedding guests remain entertained in her absence by the live music and beer. Combing her auburn fringe out of her deep, gray eyes, she finishes a Lone Star longneck, tossing the bottle at her feet. She picks petals off of wildflowers as flashes of gold chained to her finger remind her of her recent nuptials.

Savannah Beaumont. She used to daydream in school, signing her name with his. She even practiced the surname attached with their future children's names. But, now that she has taken the name as her own, she can’t help but wonder: was he the right one?

She stands after hearing the familiar country baseline reverberating through the dance floor. The sultry twang of the steel strings causes her to slowly sashay her hips. For a moment, she savors the beat, allowing her mind to drain of every anxiety, allowing the inhibitions of her multiple cold brews overcome her senses.

Suddenly, a voice clears behind her, followed by an all-too-familiar foreign accent: "May I have this dance?" She lets out a joyous giggle. She straightens out the skirt to her white dress before reaching for his extended hand.

"Of course, your majesty," she nods, smiling brightly as he twirls her into an endearing embrace. The pair instantly fall into a two-step, matching the other couples swirling around them as a romantic fiddle charms their movements. “Look at you!” She gasps, “You remember--”

“Of course, I remember,” Liam chuckles under his breath, “how could I possibly forget? You used to beg me to dance on rainy summer days, especially to that song, goodness, that one song--” a pensive look floods his chiseled face, his eyes darting into the distance, “--forgive me.” He begins to handsomely hum in his deep baritone voice part of the country ballad’s chorus until he remembers some of the lyrics. “--the smile on your face let’s me know, um, something--” he titters, his cheeks warming into a blush.

Savannah snickers, watching her good friend relive the sweet memory of their childhood. “I didn’t realize I was dancing with Keith Whitley," she jokes, sticking her tongue out through her teeth.

They continue to float across the hardwood dance floor in content silence. Liam twirls the bride occasionally under his towering arm, eliciting innocent laughter from the friends.

Liam pulls Savannah closer. "There's nothing more beautiful than a woman in love," he whispers in her ear, squeezing her hand lovingly. "Your smile," he grins adoringly at her, "I've never seen one that big."

"Li--" her eyes glisten as she blushes. Her face slightly falls, seeing the loving conviction in his eyes. "Thank you," she sighs. She looks across the room, watching her groom share a cigar with other family and friends. Her gaze instantly meets the longing-look in his eyes. "I know our love story isn't typical--" her tender whisper hitches in her chest as she tears away from the stare, "--but it's my favorite."

Liam senses the sudden tremble in Savannah's demeanor. "Are you alright, Sav? Maybe we should sit--?" He drops his arm to guide her from the floor only to be excused by the wave of her own hand.

"No," she feigns a smile, lightly tittering. "I guess that last drink snuck up on me."

Assured that she was okay, Liam looks up, nodding at the decorated man approaching the friends. "Ahh. Here's what you need: this handsome chap to take over."

A brief curiosity paints across Savannah's face as a tender hand she knows intimately glides across her lower back. She eagerly twirls around, meeting his stormy gaze. And she beams.

It was him, her knight in shining armor, the one her soul longs hungrily for, the man of her dreams. Even in the business of the stressful wedding day, he was her calm in the storm.

"There's the beautiful bride," he chuckles, "may I cut in?"

Savannah bites her bottom lip, entranced by his voice, by his smile, by his touch. She coyly nods, offering her hands. He pulls her into a tight embrace before he begins swaying his hips in perfect time with hers.

"Savannah," he rests his chin against her temple, whispering tenderly into her ear. "You are breathtaking. I knew it before today, but--" he abruptly chokes up with his remarks. He quickly nuzzles his nose in her hair. "--as I watched you walk down the aisle--"

Savannah's eyes flutter shut, cherishing the moment on such a special day. He continues softly reciting sweet sentiments to her, ones that she will always treasure.

She rests her head on his chest. Savoring the bright, citrusy tones of his cologne, memories flash before her eyes of the day he found her. Feeling his arms strongly around her reminds her of the day she knew he was the perfect father for Bartie. He's so attentive, always ensuring that she was never in need, even if it meant the detriment of his own home. And how can she forget his charm? His handsome physique? His humor?

Now in this moment in her heart of hearts, she knows: he is the one. She is Mrs. Beaumont. It took quite a bit of time for her to arrive at this place, but at least she is finally honest with him on the day of the wedding.

The precious moment carries them away as if they are dancing amongst a sea of stars in a galaxy of their own, far away from nosy nobles, far away from prying eyes. The music dissipates; the incessant chatter falls away. But, the sound of their hearts beating melt them together as their souls intertwine.

Savannah looks to the love of her life, his smoldering attention already diving into the depths of her eyes. Getting lost in him, she feels the magnetism between them burning swiftly, their thirst for one another growing powerfully. Unable to hold back, she is met by the pressure of his hungry pout on her lips. But, it doesn't feel like any other kiss; it's like learning to breathe again as he serves as the only air she needs.

He strokes her cheeks gently as he deepens the kiss. Their feet have stopped dancing as their tongues take over the delicate steps.

Suddenly, it becomes painfully apparent they are not alone when a violent hush crashes over the partygoers. The music breaks mid-song as dancers excuse themselves from the vicinity. Beer bottles crash into pieces, dropping violently to the ground.

Savannah opens her eyes. And freezes. She feels eyes on her, but they aren't doting and adoring. She can hear whispers, but they aren't positive and encouraging.

They were no longer in their private universe, just the two of them, alone.

And yet, they are still kissing.

"Sav!" An abrupt smash of a crystal tumbler interjects the awkward stillness of the reception as Drake storms towards his sister. "What in the actual fuck do you think you're doing?"

Savannah quickly pulls her mouth off of Maxwell, but her eyes are instantly met with the steely grays of Bertrand.

Her groom.

Poll Finds Republicans Particularly Opposed To 'Vaccine Passport' Messaging

People who voted for Donald Trump were already some of the most likely to oppose getting vaccinated. หวย บอล เกมส์ กีฬา คาสิโนออนไลน์

Now a poll shows the idea of a document, sometimes called a "passport," showing proof of vaccination is unpopular with that group as well. Forty-seven percent of Trump voters oppose this type of document, compared with 10% of Biden voters, the survey shows.

To be clear, the federal government has no plans for anything like this. But there are some efforts at the state level and among private institutions to give people the option of getting a document to do things like speed up and simplify travel.

A lot of the problem with a "passport" has to do with phrasing.

"The term 'vaccine passports' pushes every button on the political right — the idea of being forced to take the vaccine, issues of freedom and issues of government overreach," says Brian Castrucci, president and CEO of the de Beaumont Foundation, an advocacy and research group focused on public health.

The de Beaumont Foundation's new poll on attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines and how to document vaccinations was done with Republican pollster Frank Luntz.

Article continues after sponsor message

THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

FAQ: What Is A Vaccine 'Passport,' And What Are These Credentials Used For?

The idea of a passport "allowed for discussion of potential federal government mandates that could threaten our personal liberty or could seem like government overreach," Castrucci, who is also an epidemiologist, tells Steve Inskeep on Morning Edition. "The Biden administration smartly said that there would not be a federal mandate or a vaccine database, but it was too late. It was already politicized."

The poll found that both Trump and Biden voters were much more supportive of a "verification" instead of a "passport." It's because "it's a statement of fact and not a government-issued document," Castrucci says.

He talked to NPR's Morning Edition about how messaging can impact getting vaccines to hesitant people. Here are excerpts, edited for length and clarity:

Can I ask a cynical question? It would be easy for me to say it does not matter what the Biden administration calls this. Tucker Carlson on Fox News will call it what he wants. And that's what people are going to believe and remember in a certain part of the population.

That's why we have to get politics out of this debate. Any time you have a political debate, there's a winner and a loser. If we don't get Americans vaccinated, we all lose. This needs to be a conversation had by state and local health officials and other medical professionals. Let's not even introduce it into politics so that we don't politicize yet another very important tool in the public health tool chest. We don't need vaccine passports to become mask wearing 2.0. We need to make sure that people have the facts that they need and the freedom to make the choice. And they want to hear from doctors. They want to hear from clergy. They want to hear from their spouses, not politicians. We have to start having conversations throughout this country, across the dinner table.

THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

How Do You Reach Trump Voters Who Say They Don't Want The Vaccine? Try Doctors

Is it a basic reality of numbers that a lot of people who voted for Donald Trump need to get their vaccines in order for the country to reach herd immunity?

We can't get to herd immunity with only one party or just with the coasts. It has to be a nationwide effort. And so that's why it's so important right now for us to be reaching out to any group that has vaccine concern. And right now, that tends to be Republican voters.

Do you mean to tell me that we could look at a map where we commonly see red and blue states, and it might actually be outbreak areas and nonoutbreak areas?

I think that's very possible. And it's not good for us as a country, because the more that we have viral transmission, we have an opportunity for variants to develop that could break through the vaccines. For us to get back to the way of life that we had before the outbreak we have to all understand that getting the vaccine is the most important thing that we can do.

This is coming at a moment where we're having this huge national debate about voter ID and how much is reasonable to require of people. And that's essentially what you're asking people with this vaccine requirement, to provide some kind of ID.

Having a requirement that prohibits people who don't have the vaccination from engaging in normal life — that's a restriction. We need incentives. The Krispy Kreme doughnuts are an incentive. Anyone who has a vaccine card can get a Krispy Kreme doughnut. There have been businesses that have given their employees days off or bonuses to get the vaccine. Those are incentives. We need more private sector incentives and almost no government mandates.
