Enid walked up the dirt path, periodically glancing behind her to see if anyone was watching her; seeing no one, she hurried and did not pause until she entered the observatory and closed the door behind her. Nigel beat her there. She set her basket down on one of the now dust-free tables in the building. It had gotten cleaned up significantly in the time since they'd started seeing each other.

"I went to Honeyduke's yesterday after work," she said, brightly. She leaned up to plant a kiss on his cheek. "To pay back your present for my promotion." Nigel had given her another book on dragon anatomy, and Enid had been incredibly charmed by it. She wasn't sure how to be as impressive. Some of the sweets would have to help.
