Eh, I think I have my own timeline:
1) Girl takes job in That Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday in off-hours stock, is already magical.
2) Girl meets boy who is pale-looking, probably kind of sexy. Turns out he's a prickly bastard and burnt-out child prodigy who specializes in defense so well he barely lets in sunlight.
3) START OF STORY. Girl takes job looking for magical whatsit with boy as part of a bonus assignment from the proprietor.
4) Other person shows up. Likes whatsit where it is thank you. May or may not be sexy.
5) Heroine saves life of hero.
6) Hero saves life of heroine.
7) They eventually manage to escape with the whatsit.
8) Heroine learns that these missions (unsurprisingly) have a less-than-full success rate.
9) Heroine resolves with hero that if the other is ever lost in such a mission that the other will go after them.
10) Heroine hesitantly starts to date hero.
11) Heroine's past as infiltrationist and illusionist start coming back to haunt her in the form of third person, possibly a brother?
12) Heroine accepts second job at behest of Past Haunty Character. She is aware it is a trap, and tells hero this.
13) Cut to weeks or months later. 'recovery' mission.
14) Hero takes the job.
15) Rival shows up to interfere again, turns out he's working for Past Haunty Character.
16) Hero takes a major beating, but manages to struggle to break out Heroine.
17) Heroine proceeds to kick Rival's ass.
18) Past Haunty character doesn't like this, and makes this known with VIOLENCE.
19) Heroine and Hero manage to escape with their lives, but Past Haunty gets away with the artifact. Hero hesitantly declares attraction to heroine. STORY END.
