 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
A brief wave of warmth flushed over her not due to how humid it was inside the shop but because Avery's friend was smirking at her, making it very obvious that she had been caught looking at her. Or perhaps it was the fact that the redhead had returned the very same look that was making her feel something stirring in her stomach. Whether that was a good or a bad feeling, time would tell.
"Well, you know how Avery can be," Julia remarked with a shrug. "Time is an illusion according to her. She'd just say she never arrives late to anything and that we showed up far too early." In all honesty, she didn't mind -- it typically gave her enough time to scout out a place and get in the right mindset for whatever would be going on there.
She did have to agree that Avery not showing up with one of them was a bit strange, especially considering this was her idea. "I'll send one out, just to make sure things are alright on her end," the brunette said as she took out her wand. Soon a silver swan emerged and gracefully glided out of the shop. Now all that needed to be done was wait and see if there would be a response.
"Oh, do you come here often? It would seem like this spot was chosen because of you then," she commented as she accepted the hand that had been offered for a few fleeting moments before letting go. "I met Avery earlier this year at the café I work at part-time just a couple doors down. After serving her one caramelatte, I was basically absorbed into her friend group. How about you?"
