When Ritchie arrived, Millicent was just finishing up a transaction for one of several ancient wizards who came into the apothecary for potions to ward off indigestion, restore hair growth, or counteract impotence. Given that this was one of the latter, she avoided eye contact, sliding the decrepit bastard his change before sending him off with a curt nod.
"Come on," she said, once the door closed behind the departing wizard and they were left alone. She gestured for Ritchie to come behind the counter, then kissed him soundly, if briefly, when he did. "We'll head out the back so I can let Theo know I'm going on break." Taking his hand, they slipped out through the storeroom, pausing only long enough for Millicent to grab her bagged lunch and shout for Theodore to come man the till.
The open area just behind the shop allowed them a bit of privacy and the run of slightly warmer temperatures the village had been enjoying lately meant that they could actually sit outside without freezing their arses off. It wasn't the most comfortable of spots, but there was a weather-worn little table they could eat at, along with a pair of chairs. Millicent dropped in one of these and used the toe of her foot to pull the other closer, nodding for Ritchie to join her.
