Then came the thud.

Her mokeskin bag hit the table with a density that absolutely betrayed the laws of physics - because it absolutely did. For something the size of a small lunch satchel, it sounded like she’d dropped a fully stocked library on the doiled table. "…I may have overestimated my upper body strength and open shelf space," she admitted under her breath, nudging the bag into a better position with another series of gentler thuds as several heavy spines clunked together inside. Her nose wrinkled again and resisted the urge to open the bag up to fix the arrangement again. "Been looking forward to a custard slice and pot of Earl Grey lavender tea all morning. Perfectly reasonable reward after several hours of rigorous book acquisition and to counterbalance intellectual exertion, wouldn't you say?"

Not entirely adequate sustenance, but one didn't come to Puddifoot's for that.

JT was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he almost toppled over and fell down on the floor when Iris dropped her fully stocked satchel on the doiled table with a thud. Eyes wide with shock JT quickly rightened himself and greeted with a warm smile "Hi Iris, gosh what do you have in that bag of yours? A small dragon? It sounded like something very heavy hit the table."

He glanced down again at the menu on the table before peering over into Iris eyes and nodded. "Sure, studying deserves rewards sometimes. I want a slice of fruit cake, but we can share the pot of lavender tea if you want?"

Was it time to ask what had been on his mind all morning? JT pondered and then thought I will never know if I don't ask. Iris he thought was worth the risk of asking, and maybe getting a no. "Iris, would you like to be my girlfriend?"
