Next minute Teddy came over and adjusted the daffodil on her head, surprised Aurora took the opportunity to lean in closer, ignoring the cautioning voice in her head and kissed Teddy on the lips. "Hi Teddy," she mumbled as she took one small step back. "Have things been good since our last date?" Aurora wondered as the shrunken head came rolling back down the lane calling her pitiful. She smiled as Teddy chivalrously hushed the ball.
Accepting the ball from Teddy she smiled sweetly "I'll give it a try," then she turned toward the lane and with determination in her eyes Aurora swung the shrunken head back back and the forwards, releasing it with force and watched it roll towards the bottles and vials. This time she managed to knock over 4 bottles and 1 vial. Turning to Teddy she asked "How did I do? Was it better?" The kiss was a surprise. A welcomed surprise, but still a surprise. "Things have been good." He was still looking for a job, but he thought he had a lead on something that could pan out. "I found an apartment." Because yes, he had decided after that first date with Aurora to stay in the UK. He took a step back as Aurora took another go at the bottles/vials. She was cute when she focused like that. In fact, he was pretty sure he could watch her focus (and bowl) like that all afternoon and not get bored. Text Cut: Chronicler Quote:

I doubt I could do better," he said with a laugh. "I think your cute little nose wrinkle really helped. Very intimidating." He felt a slight stiffening in his ankle, but tried to ignore it. He was teasing, he mentally told the curse that affected him, not lying. There was a big difference. He shuffled forward, the slightest limp in his step as he retrieved a shrunken head. It tried to bite him and he gave it a small shake. "Shall I try? Do I get another kiss if I beat you?"
After receiving her answer he stepped up to the lane and bowled the head. it bounced down the lane looking very much like it would hit the head bottle, but at the last minute spun and only took out three bottles.
