Dear Jelly, I'm writing you between shifts; I've been on double shifts all week now as half the healers are out with Wizarding flu.  I feel awful for not owling sooner.  You've been on my mind all day though, so I wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. I hope to see you soon. Yours, Zach 

... even if Susan agreed with Zach. Haven't heard from him since? It sounds like Zach does need a kick in the pants. A strategically placed one. Wrapping Jelly in a hug, Susan gave her a squeeze. "Jesslyn Dorny, you are about as far away from being a slag as it's possible to be. I don't want to hear you talk about yourself like that. You're the most loving and trusting person I know. Zach, on the...

Dear Jelly, I'm between shifts, but I wanted to owl you real quick as I've been thinking of you all day.  It's been far too long since I've seen you.  I miss you. I hope to see you soon. Yours, Zach

Holding Jelly in his arms as they lounged on the sofa, Zach had but one thought. I could really get used to this. Time had passed so strangely for him the last few weeks; it seemed the moments with...press a brief kiss to Zach's lips. "I'm all right. Besides, there are dangerous flat surfaces there, too," she pointed out. "Goodnight, Zach." {Summary: Zach and Jelly spend some quality time together.

...And you have enough projects at work; not everything you do has to be because it's a challenge. We already know you're brilliant." Rose tilted her head to the side and gazed at Jelly appraisingly. "Jesslyn Dorny, did you just analyze me?" "Only a little, and you still didn't answer me," Jelly returned. "You're good," Rose pronounced with a smile. "And I realize that." Laughing, Jelly lifted her...

Glancing at the clock, Jelly picked up the wrapped sandwiches she'd made, knowing that Zach wouldn't have had time to get supper before heading home.  She was inexplicably excited about seeing him, though...sofa cushions swallow them. "Better," he said, tucking her gently against him and closing his eyes once more, he let sleep claim him. {Summary: Jelly stops by Zach's after work.  Snuggling ensues.

Intrigued by this aspect of her friend's life that she'd not known, Jelly watched as Zach finished adjusting the small boat's sail. Her own role in getting underway and out onto the water had mostly involved...of her close to him. "I'm glad for that, as I plan on occupying a lot of yours." Summary: Zach takes Jelly out sailing. They spend a little quality time at his flat after making dinner together.

...now in a different light. He'd done it--he'd kissed Jelly, and she hadn't run or hexed him, but seemed to enjoy it. He stripped down to his boxers, hung up his suit, brushed his teeth, and collapsed on his bed. As he drifted off to sleep, his last conscious thought was of Jelly's soft lips and how he looked forward to tasting them again. { Summary :  Zacharias takes Jesslyn out.  It's a date.}

 Jelly, I'm thinking it's time I fed you .   What would you say to dinner this Saturday on me?  (Don't be afraid, I don't plan to cook).  I have tickets to the London Philharmonic Symphony for Saturday...Justin and I get when he uses my other ticket.  That, and you're far, far prettier. I hope your week is off to a good start.  I'm still enjoying my cheesecake.  Immensely. Thinking of you, Zac

"Drat!" Jelly spat vehemently as she skidded back into her flat, wincing as the door slammed behind her from the force of her shove. She whipped her wand from her now-sticky ponytail and dumped the spaghetti...against him, resting his chin on top of her head and smiling at the familiar almond scent of her shampoo. "Not right now," he agreed. { Summary :  Zach and Jelly have some spaghetti and tickles. }
