summer sunday snippets
I’m so tragically late to this it’s not even funny. Thank you @cascader for tagging me.
This is a wee snippet from not london is lonely (sorry, working out the kinks of the next chapter, lily is being very difficult), but a prequel to some with arrows, when james and lily are working on perry hewitt. I really hope I haven’t shared this bit before because i’ve literally been working on this since november of last year lol.
Lily sighed, but took a tentative sip. And then she wished she could spit the offending liquid back into its cup, but lucky for Lily, she had at least some sense of self preservation.
“Ugh, what is that?”
“Coffee?”
“That is not coffee. Coffee is bitter and slightly creamy. Maybe a hint of sweet if I’m feeling naughty. That was terrible.”
“Not a fan of hazelnuts?”
“In my nutella, sure. In black coffee? Absolutely not. Also, how much syrup is even in there? My tongue is still tingling,” Lily mimed gagging.
“What is your coffee order then,” James asked, while typing into his phone, “I’ll have Remus bring you something over.”
“Oh no, you don’t have to do that. I’m sure he’s busy doing other things.”
“Eh, not really. I don’t really need an assistant, to be honest,” James ran his fingers through his hair, messing up his already very messy bed head.
