He'd set foot in there once before, but only because he wasn't given an option. Paige had been quite insistent. Honestly, it was a revoltingly cutesy place, but the food was decent. Lots of cakes and sweets and good things like that, so not only did he have Maggie's company to look forward to, there was also the promise of sugar.
Zeke HAD notices that Maggie was huddling closer, but he thought it might have been because she wanted to be closer to him, not necessarily because she was cold. But when she brought up the topic of summer, it clicked. She was wearing a dress after all, which was hardly... wintery... but in all fairness he had assumed she had a heating charm on it. "Here," he said as he raised his arm so she could slip into his side, that way he could keep her shoulders a little warmer. Of course, if that didn't help, he would be willing to surrender his jacket. "It'll be here before we know it." Summer, or at least definitely spring. Every year, post Christmas, time just seemed to fly. "Got any plans for it?" he asked, wanting to know a little more, and wanting to distract her from the chill. Zeke better not be calling the shop 'revoltingly cutesy' out loud.
Either way, they were getting closer to their destination. Soon, soon her ears would be warm again. The rest of her was alright to be honest. They were walking after all and she had cast a warming spell on her boots. So yes, she was MOSTLY warm. Which of course didn't stop her from huddling closer when he offered. How attentive he was. Four for you, Zeke Browne, you go, Zeke Browne.
Summer, though, yes. Maggie had been talking about PROPER summer, like actual heat, lie in the sun and get tan kind of summer. But she didn't argue. Just shrugged against him. "Mhm." Optimism. As for her summer plans, "No, not really." There was something going on with her daddy's side of the family that no one was telling her about so she wasn't sure if she was going to get to go to California again. She would have to figure that out soon. "You? Going to France again?" See, she HAD been paying attention when he'd told her about that before the last summer holidays. |
