Which would be a first, because Lon wasn’t exactly the ‘helpful’ type.

Annnnddd…apparently Ilse didn’t catch on about how much muggle stuff could make Conley uncomfortable. Not everything, but quite often technology did trigger his anxiety. ”Just remember, I have a meeting in 30 minutes.” He didn’t really, but it gave a finite timeline for how long he could be in the room with these confangled ‘puter thingies.

Ilse started up the computer and waited for things to load. ”Oh you do? Sorry, I must have missed you saying that earlier. This shouldn’t take very long,” she assured him. Looking away from the computer, she took in Conley’s expression. He didn’t seem his normal, hard to ruffle self. Maybe this hadn’t been a good idea. She knew some Wizards really hated Muggle technology for one reason or another.

BUT she thought he’d like this, so she pressed on. Opening an Internet browser, Ilse navigated through the screens with the ease who someone clearly regularly used the computer. She came to a site showing all different kinds of clothes. ”Okay, look at this. This is a subscription service. You sign up and give them information, and every month they send you a box with clothes they picked just for you in your size!” she explained excitedly. ”That’s where I got this!” she said, gesturing down at the forest green sweater that actually fit her body well for once.

It's in the way you hold my hand. It's the way I've watched you change me from a boy into a man. It's a million things about you, and I don't know what it is. I have never known a love like this.
