Fred had just finished counting the day's bank deposit when he felt George gently nudging his shoulder.
"Look at that, brother dear," he stated, motioning towards Fred's left.
Verity was dancing and singing along to a song that was on the wireless, and having way too much fun with it as she tidied up one of the displays.
"Yeah! Shake it!" Fred called out jokingly, unable to contain his laughter.
"Hitting on my girl, mates?" Lee asked as he walked into the now closed shop, putting his arm around Verity and twirling her before giving her a kiss.
"Not at all," Fred replied with a wink.
"Better not be, mister!" It was Katie who replied, having come downstairs from the flat to see what was going on.
"Nah, he's too much in love," George answered her, smiling as Katie gave Fred a tight hug.
"Yes, he is a hopeless case," Pansy had followed Katie downstairs, carrying a tray with enough drinks and biscuits for everyone, which she placed down on the counter next to Lee and Verity.
"He is guilty as charged, love, as am I. And you make me that way," George said, wrapping his arms around her. He was so glad that he'd given her a chance to show her true colours back when Fred was recovering from his injuries after the Battle.
As everyone helped themselves to the snacks, Fred looked around with a grateful smile. It was good to be alive, he thought as he put his arm around Katie and took a sip of his drink.
