Zach nodded, and watched as Belle closed up the shop. He glanced around, reflecting that the place hadn't changed all that much since the first time he'd walked in here. He'd come in to buy his uniform for Hogwarts - he and Aidan had transferred from Durmstrang, and started Hogwarts in sixth year - and it hadn't taken very long for him and Belle to become 'acquainted'. He grinned to himself, reflecting that he and Aidan had been fast workers; within a couple of days of arriving at Diagon Alley, they'd found a girl each, and actually shared a third!
Then Belle was ready, and they walked out of the shop together
ooc: continued in the Leaky Cauldron

Belle wandered through her shop, flittling through racks, sorting, making sure everything wasin size, colour and style order. It was amazing how messy some customers were. She could have just cleaned the entire store, floor to roof and polished all the windows, with a flick of her wand, but at the moment, she prefered to do it all manually. She'd already hand mended some customer's robes that they'd left here for fixing. Her best friend, Sinead, always used to think if Princess Belle doing something by hand then something was definitely wrong in the world.
And right now, Belle felt like her world was coming down around her. With Jezabel gone back to school, she had no help around the store. And now she was still seeing Zach every now and again for meals, and it was confusing her. Things seemed to be getting easier between them, but that same tension was still there. Belle needed to find a man, and find one quick. She'd never really shown any interest in getting into another relationship, to wrapped up in her mothering and work duties.
But now, with Zach back around ehr all the time, she felt like she may need a distraction.

Zach pushed open the door of the shop, hoping that Belle would be alone. Right now he felt so frayed around the edges that he'd probably scare off any customers she had.
When he saw her, wandering around the shop tidying up, he smiled. She seemed to like doing things by hand, instead of magic. "Hey Belle. Busy today? Got time for a spot of lunch?"

As the bell over the door chimed, Belle looked up from the rack she was sorting. "Oh... hi Zach." She looked around the empty store. "Yeah.. Got heaps of time... it's real slow this time of year." No one would notice if she closed the shop so she could get some lunch.

Zach nodded distractedly when Belle talked about business being quiet. "I wish it was like that in the Auror office," he said with a grin. "Never slows down - and when I manage to get home, it's just as stressful, the way things are with Nat..." He faltered; he hadn't meant to badmouth Nathalie - he loved her, really, but her problems were just adding to his stress right now.

Belle nodded as he spoke about how it was for him at work and home. He cut himself short and she took that as her cue to talk. "I'll close up, shall I?" she murmured, walking over to the counter and picked up her bag, taking out her wand nad performing the closing spells. Then, she walked over to Zach. "Okay, where d'you wanna eat?"

"Some place quiet," Zach suggested. "Why don't we pick up some sandwiches or something, and go eat by the River Ruins?" He really felt the need for quiet, soothing surroundings. "It'll be peaceful this time of year, now the kids are in school."

Belle smiled and nodded. "Yeah, that sounds good." They left hte shop and Belle locked the front door. "So, where do you want to get the food from? Leaky Cauldron? Or I know this little coffee shop down one of the side streets..." She smiled.
