Gracelyn knew how to handle herself, and honestly Sky understood her reasons for not joining the family business. LakeStar had enough nepotism going on in its employee roster for a while.

Actually, it was rather a personal visit today, aside from what had brought him to Fortescue’s. Eli had told him to take a break, and so he had. Even if he was still rather dressed for work in suit pants and a dress shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. But he’d stepped into the ice cream shop to purchase a treat for Lorin’s youngest two kids. He’d treated himself to a scoop of treacle tart, though, the takeaway containers of chocolate frog and strawberry jam for Briar and Willoughby in a bag hanging from one elbow when he saw a familiar face seated near the window.

“Rosemary?”, he said, stepping closer to the table. Just in case it wasn’t her.

Her mind was busy with nothing as she stared out the window at the passing people. The more her years continued on, the less interesting she seemed to find things that used to fulfill her. The ice cream was delicious and she still felt well deserved, but the crowd watching? Not nearly as interesting. It occurred to her that she probably should have started trying to make other acquaintances - friends, even. She had Lucas and that was nothing to scoff at, but her older colleague could hardly want to deal with her all of the time.

She should have kept in touch with people at school. Should have kept in touch with friends she’d made during her brief time married. A whole lot of ‘should have’.

Her thoughts were then interrupted by the sound of her name, and Rose turned with a bit of surprise before a smile stretched when she noticed the familiar face. Another ‘should have’ right in front of her, it seemed. “Sky! It’s been a minute since I’ve seen you. How are you? How’s your cousin?” She assumed life was far quieter for him as well with both the subjects of their previous bonding graduated and no longer at magical boarding schools. Seeing the cup of ice cream in his hand, she gestured to the seat across from her. “Want to join me?”
