Who: Gladys Talbot and Caitlin Carmichael.
What: Meeting in person.
Where: Glad Tidings, Barmouth.
When: Monday 19th September, after work. {Backdated, sorry!}
Gladys was looking forward to meeting Caitlin. Gladys looked forward to meeting any knew person, but someone who liked puzzles and kittens was a particularly pleasing prospect."Now, Dennis," Gladys said, addressing the parrot who had been flying around the living room, "you have to go back in your cage now." As much as Gladys adored her pet, she knew that not everyone felt the same. Caitlin had said that she liked birds, which was a good start as if she'd been phobic the idea of her coming to stay at Glad Tidings would have been unworkable. She still might not like them enough to have one flying free. "Alohamora," Dennis chirped when Gladys closed the cage door behind him, making her laugh and offer him a treat.
By the time the doorbell rang, Gladys had brewed a pot of tea and fetched a half-finished cake out of the pantry so she'd have something to offer her guest. Having spent a few hours in one of her shops earlier in the day, Gladys was dressed in a way unlikely to be shocking. She opened the door already smiling, wand in her pocket. "Hello," she said. "Are you Caitlin?" She must be, because Gladys knew her neighbours by site (or more). "Come in."
