"After he died I thought I would never date anyone else. But then he came." Hecate smirked thinking of Sage... "He was sweet, shy and adorable." Which wasn't really her type... "He had someone else tell me he wanted to dance with me... And then he was so bad at dancing it was deplorable. But then, I realized, he just wanted to get me alone... So he could ask me out. We had a nice first date... I even agreed to a second date... but, you know how it is with finals and all... I just got too busy." And there was always time to go to the greenhouse. He'd given her free reign on it... sort of.
Lexi had just raised her cup to her lips once again when Hecate mentioned the death of first husband.
...and second husband.
...and her third husband.
The Charms professor lowered her cup and gave her co-worker a look that was a mixture between sympathy and horror.
What in Merlin's name? she wanted to ask. She didn't, though. She kept quiet, partly because she didn't want to sound rude and intruding, and partly because she was suddenly sort of leery of Hecate. The woman either had
really bad luck when it came to love, or...
Nevermind. She wouldn't finish that thought. Not right now, at least. She really did need to say something, though.
"I...ummm, I'm sorry to hear about the death of your...husbands," she said. Lexi raised her cup to her lips and took another sip of her drink...
...only to spew it right back out a second later.
Sage had been the one to get that dance started? Now she was really...sort of...upset with him. Ugh. She hated being upset with him, too, but...they really needed to talk.
"I'm sure he'll be...great at dancing one day," she said, feeling the need to take up for Sage one good time before plopping moodily onto a nearby chair.
