*Catches sight of her just as something falls off of a shelf and hits her. The sight of her in pain bothering him, he wants to go to her, and try to comfort her, but is sure that his presence will only anger her further.*
*He really wants to alert her to his presence without approaching her. The idea of what to do pops into his head, and he chuckles inwardly. Even if she is angry with him he needs to do something, and perhaps his idea will put a little smile on her face.*
*Ever so quietly he slips past a few displays, his eyes on her the entire time. He stops just a few feet from her, reaches a hand into his cloak to remove his wand from his pocket.*
*With his wand in hand he turns up the palm of the other hand, and does a few tricky wand movements, whispering a few incantations as quietly as possible. As he watches her, not breathing a small silver bell appears on the palm of his hand, etched upon it is a the letter G.*
*With another flick of the wand the bell soars over to her, hovering just next to her shoulder. He smiles sadly, hoping this won't upset her further, and waves his wand, the bell begins to ring.*

*She's too into mentally cursing herself to pay any attention to the bell over the front door of the shop. Not noticing that anyone could be lurking around, she gets lost in flashbacks of last night*
I...what was I-
*Suddenly she hears a soft ringing just over her shoulder. She jumps, eyes wide, and turns to either catch or hex whatever it is*
Oi!
*She sees the small silver bell and stops in her tracks*
A bell? That would be interesting.
At least I'd know who I was running into...
Where's that bloody bell when you need it?!
*Despite her anger and confusion, Katie smiles distantly as she reaches for the tiny silver bell*

*Sees her smile slightly at the bell, taking it into her, and he steps out from his hiding spot, looking absolutely miserable.*
*He shuffles a few feet closer to her, not getting too close, and smiles weakly.*
Hey...
*Stuffs his hands in his pockets.*

*Right before she has the bell in her hand, she catches a glimpse of something etched into its suface. G...Greys-*
Speak of the devil...
*Torn between wanting to scream at him to get out or rush over and apologize, she stands still. She speaks in a soft tone, neither angry nor pleased*
What are you doing here?

*Shrugs, taking a hand out of his pocket to run through his hair.*
Wanted to see you.
*Grins lopsidedly, dropping his eyes from her face. He's sad that she left his flat the way she did, and hopes that he didn't do anything (other than have a girlfriend) to make her mad.*
How are you?

*Still has a neutral expression*
I'm as well as can be, considering the situation.
*She knows that if he keeps up with the whole abandoned puppy look, she's not going to last long. Sighing, she looks down at the equipment she kicked earlier, wondering if her little episode had an audience*

*Shuffles a bit closer to her, spotting a display out of the corner of his eye, leans against it, and his body sags sadly.*
Look, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
*Sighs heavily, smiling so weakly it doesn't reach his sad eyes.*
I'm sorry for whatever I did that made you leave so quickly. I know that the whole having a girlfriend situation was probably part of the reason.
*Drops his eyes to his shoes.*
I'm sorry for what happened.
Wait. No. I'm not sorry, but I know you regret it, and I'm sorry for that. In my Defence, I was up front about everything with you. I wouldn't lie to you, Katie.
*Lifts his eyes to regard her expression, and his body sags even more.*
I also wanted you to know that I've sent Jolie an owl explaining my feelings. It's over between us even before anything started, I never really fancied her the way-
*Slides his hand back into his pocket, straightening himself out.*
-I fancy you. I know we've only just met, but Katie, I've taken quite a liking to you.
You're like a breath of fresh air. The warm sun on my face.

*The closer he moves to her, the closer she wants to be. She doesn't move yet though, because she still doesn't understand how they could've just met last night but she feels like this*
*She sighs, wishing he couldn't tear down her defenses by basically doing nothing*
*Something inside her almost snaps as he apologizes for last night- barely registering his correction*
This can't be happening. "Love at first sight" isn't real.
*Her breath catches as he finishes talking, maybe she isn't the only one who's in so deep*
Greyson-
*She shifts her weight from one leg to the other, spinning her wand with one hand*
-I...You're...it's not your fault. Not entirely. I should've left when we were at the Leaky still, and none of this would've happened. I believe you when you say you've sent the owl, but at the time you were still together.
*She inhales deeply*
I...never planned on feeling this much for a wizard I bumped into the day before. And that scares me.
*She looks up into his eyes, hoping he can see her confusion*

*Nods, stuffing his hands in his pockets deeper. He can see the cofusion on his face, and knows exactly how she feels. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would feel so strongly for another witch so soon after Willow.*
I know how you feel.
*Removes a hand from his pocket, reaching over to the display, his hand fishing out a pair of goggles. He turns the goggles over in his hand, watching the dim light glinting off of the lenses.*
I never thought I'd feel this way again.
I'm happy you didn't leave me sitting in The Leaky, and I'm even more happy that you stayed the night.
*Drops the goggles back onto the display, pushes himself away from it, and moves to her.*
Katie, will you please give me the chance to try to make you feel the way you make me feel.
*Looks down at her, his eyes pleading.*
Please, Katie.

Please. Don't. Stop.
Katie, you're driving me insane...
Please, Katie.
*She looks up as he moves towards her, sucking in a deep breath*
I...
*Oh, Merlin, his eyes broke down every reason she had for not staying with him, girlfriend or not*
*She swallows, distantly wondering what this is leading to*
Nh, Greyson...
*She nods*
Alright, Greyson. Prove it.

*Eyes light up as he hears those words once again, his thoughts going back to last night. She wants me to prove it, eh?*
*With a swift movement he sweeps in on her, and leans his face in close to hers. His lips graze her cheek as they find her ear.*
How about I take you-
*Pauses dramatically, knowing she'll get what he means.*
-out on a romantic date, and woo you the old fashioned way, the way an old man like me knows how.
*Pulls away from her to see her reaction, hoping that she'll give him the chance to win her heart.*

*Her lungs freeze as he suddenly leans closer. Her eyes flutter shut as his lips graze her cheek and she shivers as he talks, so close to her ear*
*She swallows because her mouth is dry and at first, she doesn't know what to say*
Let you woo me?
*She licks her lips*
It's no fun if I just let you do everything.
*She pauses, smiling at his comment*
I guess, you old man, I can give this another chance.

*He is so happy that she seems to have forgiven him he can hardly stand still. Somehow he finds the strength to keep from running around the shop, and places a hand on each side of her face, leans in and places a hot kiss on her lips.*
*Pulls away, his eyes shining happily.*
You won't regret this, I promise.
*Breaks out into a little jig. It's been a long time since he's felt this happy.*

*Laughs, eyes shining brightly as he beams down at her*
*Quirks an eyebrow*
And Merlin, Ollivander, if you'd just hold still...
*Takes hold of his muscular arms and yanks him back around to face her*
*She smiles, moving her arms around his neck. Jumping, she manages to get high enough to kiss his lips, tongue running over his lower lip*

*As she kisses him he slips his arms around her, lifting her to his height.*
*He returns her kiss with a heated passion, his thoughts going back to last night for the second time in a matter of minutes. A soft moan escapes his throat.*
