Gaston was in a a bit of a hurry today. He had a date with Rose soon, but he still had a little time, so he decided to pop into Honeydukes for a minute. The dark-haired Frenchman hummed a cheery little tune to himself as he perused the candy displays. Normally he despised this time of year, but this year was different.

Now which kind of candy should he buy? He was torn between the dark chocolate truffles and the ones with cherry centers. After a few moments, he decided to go with some of each. His bright blue eyes searched the shop, but he saw no sign of the shopkeeper. He wondered where she was. He wanted to ask her if she had a heart-shaped box to put the candy in.
