Who: Jones Dennis and Nora Thompson
What: bumping into each other
Where:Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour
When: Friday afternoon, after she's finished up with work

It had been an extremely long week, and Nora was glad that it was over. She loved her students to bits, but since November she'd been incapable of keeping up with their energy. Between vomiting and bloating and all of the other delightful things that come with pregnancy, Nora was at her wit's end. But the end of the week was here, she'd made it and now it was time to celebrate. And hey, she'd earned it; she was nearly 14 weeks pregnant which meant she was practically out of her first trimester.

She sighed as she looked over the menu, her hands fiddling with the hem of her shirt; she was secretly wondering if her stomach was noticeable to everyone else or if she was just being paranoid. And if she could actually focus for a second, she would be able to pick what she wanted to have, but it all looked good and she was so indecisive and--oh Merlin, did they really have apple pie ice cream? And...ooh, every flavor. Maybe she would get lucky and get stuck with beef jerky or something. That sounded really good right now.

It only took a few minutes after ordering for her number to be called, and in all of her excitement to eat her freshly scooped goodness she turned around right into someone, upsetting her ice cream onto her shirt and making her nearly lose her balance. "Bleeding hell," she swore to herself as she looked at the ice cream now on the floor, before sighing. "I'm really sorry. I hope I didn't get any on you," she said, finally looking up at the bloke standing in front of her.

Nora laughed a little. "Yeah, that's what they all say. I still have hope that they'll make a come around in the next few years. Until then, I suppose I have some sort of obligation to become a pseudo Catapults fan." The thought of it wasn't too pleasing, but at the same time she felt content with being known as Griffith Kirkham's girl. It hurt that Griff didn't exactly fancy her but...beggars can't be choosers, right?

"Friends are always good to have, though," she replied with a polite smile. "Since you two are close and all, you'll probably be quite involved in our b--" she stopped, eyes widening as she caught herself. Merlin's beard. She had firmly decided that she would only tell close friends and family; if Griff wanted to tell Jones, that was his deal. And here she was, so caught up in a conversation that she almost blabbed about everything to him. In public no less. Quick, quick...uhm, topic change, distract him.

"Ice cream sounds amazing. So, if you had to describe yourself in terms of an ice cream flavor, what would you be?" she asked, trying not to make her voice sound too rushed or nervous.
