36 Hours Book Novels & Stories

She points to the table located behind Kenji before turning her attention back to the stack on the table she sits at. Shaking my head, I walk over to the table she pointed at, getting to work to look through the piles of books placed on top.

"Yes." She looked at him. This man. This impossible, thorough, poetry-reading, coffee-ruining man who had been standing at her shoulder for six weeks through everything this world had thrown at them and had not once taken a step back. "Lorenzo," she said. "Yes." "If something goes wrong in the next sixty hours..." "It won't," he said.
