When George got home, Arthur demanded he come over for dinner and tell him every detail about his muggle vacation. George gladly retold his vacation to his parents and Ron. He told them about how much he loved Lucy's friends and all their outings, and almost everything about camping. He of course left out the bit about sharing his sleeping bag with Lu. Ron was really jealous but also so happy for George.

"Sounds like you had a brilliant time, mate." Ron said to George. "That Lucy sure is something else. Thank God she came around, eh?"

"Yeah she's really the greatest," George replied. And he really meant it. It was thanks to her, it seemed, that George was happy again. "So how are the wedding plans coming along?" George asked Ron to change the subject. "You've only got a little over a month to get everything ready!"

"Well, you know Hermione, every little detail is being covered. She doesn't trust me much with details, so she's pretty much got everything under control herself."

"Sounds like Hermione for sure," George answered, sounding slightly distracted. He couldn't help but think about what Ron had said. 'Thank God she came along'. George has to admit that it seemed thanks to Lucy the he was happy again, but the thought his happiness might be dependent on one person, on Lucy, scared him a little. He loved Lucy, but what if it was for all the wrong reasons? George decided he needed to sort his feelings out, but how? "Hey listen Ron, I'm gonna go see Lu. I'll see ya later." And with that he set off to the shop to see his best friend and secret love. And on his way there, he brainstormed what to do about his confusion.

"Oh Shit!" George heard Lucy say as he came in the back door of the shop.

"Hey Lu, what's up?" he asked, wondering why she sounded so upset.

"I just broke my shark tooth charm on my necklace! I've had it for years..." she sound like she might cry.

"Yeah, you wear that every day," George said as he held the two broken pieces in his hands. "I'm sorry Lu, don't be sad." And with that he hugged her close. She decided not to cry though. She hated crying. But she was sad enough to.

"What brings you here tonight? I thought you were having dinner with your parents." She asked him.

"Well I came to ask you a huge favor Lu. I talked to my brother Charlie today. The one in Romania with the dragons. And, well, he's invited me to come see him for a while before the wedding. He wants me to help him out for a bit, and well, I really want to go, but I would need you to be in charge of the shop while I'm gone."

Lucy was so excited for George and told him she would obviously do that for him. "So, how long will you be gone?"

"Four weeks. I'll come home just two or three days before Ron and Hermione get married."

"A month? Wow, I wasn't expecting that." Lucy couldn't help but secretly wonder if George was unhappy with her for some reason. They had just come home from America and now he was going thousands of miles away again immediately. And for a whole month! But she wouldn't dare ask him. She didn't want thing to be weird between them and asking him would give away her feelings for him she thought. "Well, I'll def do that for you George, as long as you promise to be careful around those dragons." And she gave George her best fake smile to cover up her disappointment. First her favorite necklace breaks, and now this. What a terrible day.
