"Its no problem." Cass said with another smile "I saw it behind a shop window while strolling around muggle London and I instantly thought of you." Then she looked away as she continued "It can comfort you during times that you think no one is there for you." As the title implies, 'Keep Calm and Carry On'

Cass was then caught in surprise when he suddenly hugged her quickly. Before she even had the chance to hug him back, he had already drew away. Then she looked down on the necklace on her palm and lifted it up as she fastened it around her neck, carefully sweeping her long hair to the side so that she could fasten it.

Then she remembered something...oh, but it would be too much to ask...but on the other hand, she really had no one to go with and the invite did say she was required to bring one..So she took a deep breath and asked "Christopher, could you do me a really huge favor?"

Before he could even answer, she plowed on quickly "You see I was invited to this wedding thing, insane right? Anyway, they were requiring us to bring dates and well I was wondering if you would like to come with me because I really don't have anyone else and it would suck if I show up dateless and the bride might get mad at me." She finished breathlessly, it took everything that she had to not jumble the words up into just one, long, incomprehensible
sentence
"Hmm, I don't know, you would totally rock that beard style. I'm sure it'll be all the rage by next fall," Christopher teased with a laugh. "Who doesn't like milk and cookies? That has to be a crime." Heh, cookies were too delicious to dislike alone, but with milk, the things were Heaven on Earth.

When she told him of the book's description and how it made her think of him, he smiled once more, drawing the book in closer to his chest. He could tell this book would be a life saver, especially with the sticky situation he called life. Combine that with his love for reading, and you get the perfect gift. He could hardly sum up how much this would help him. "Cass, I can't even explain how much I needed this. It's perfect. Thank you again." He smiled at her and cocked his head sideways as she fastened the necklace around her neck. "It's pretty on you," was what he finally managed to say. Maybe shabby things were "in" or whatever. Either way, it looked very pretty on her.

Christopher raised an eyebrow when she timidly asked him for a favor, but he still wore a smile on his face. "Yeah, sure. Anything you need! So what's up?" He was quite curious to hear this favor. Quite curious indeed.

Had his ears deceived him? It was an odd request, but he was cool with it. "Wait, you need me to go with you to this wedding? That's a strange thing, being required to have a date. But I'd love to go with you! May I ask whose wedding it is?" He was also curious about who would enforce such strange rules about their wedding, but he didn't mind going with Cass.
