sweet destiny? | jared

Ophelia didn't like to admit it, mostly because she wasn't proud of it, but she had a sweet tooth. She had had a sweet tooth ever since she was young and she had done little to get rid of it. People often questioned why she managed to remain so skinny while consuming as much candy as she did, and quite frankly she asked herself the same thing. Perhaps it was her like to exercise, which she enjoyed just as much, that countered the major calorie-consumption she got from all that eating. Or maybe she just had a superior metabolism. 

And here she was, standing in her favorite sweets shop again. Many of the workers had learned to recognize her by now; she had been coming here, to the exact same boutique, ever since she'd moved here. Like how some people identified a favorite coffee shop to always purchase a cup of joe, Ophelia had zeroed in on Sugar Shack as her go-to candy store. 

She waved to the person at the cashier, who did indeed turn out to be a familiar face, and she proceeded to make her way straight to the back, where she knew the sugar quills were held. Over the years she did make some effort to control her lack of inhibition over candy, and sugar quills were now what she primarily ate in terms of sweet stuff, since they could last for a long time and thus would keep her occupied.

Jared didn't really have a sweet tooth, at least not as much as he used to. As a kid, he wanted to eat it for every meal and would sometimes try to sneak sweets before dinner. As he got older, his love for it kind of faded. He still liked it well enough, but it wasn't an all the time thing anymore. Perhaps that could also be contributed to his Quidditch career. Jared needed to stay in really good shape for games and while he certainly spent a lot of time working out, he didn't really want all that fat in his system. Not that he was a healthy eater by any means, he ate his fair share of junk, just not a lot of sweets.

Every once in a while, he'd go and grab some. It was one of those days. Jared wasn't going to pick up a whole lot, but as he looked at all the candy, he thought about his sister at Hollow Creek and decided to pick up a little extra, send some to her. He hadn't written to her in a while; she'd probably enjoy it. He grabbed some chocolate bars for himself, then continued walking around, wondering what he should grab his sister.

He'd just turned into another aisle when he saw the blonde and grinned as he walked over to her. “Wait, are you even allowed in a candy store?” he asked curiously. “It's just I heard there was a limit on the amount of sweet things they can have in here and I'm pretty sure you're pushing them over that limit.” That really wasn't his best, but it was all he could come up with at the moment.
