And then it seems like I'm woken up far too quickly. A clattering fills the space near me, and I wonder what could be going on. Everything keeps happening so quickly and in the most confusing ways possible. I don't know how to make sense of anything. I don't know whether to be scared or excited. Before I can figure out how to feel about anything, a group of three strangers comes to the front of my cell.

"I'm sorry you feel that way" He looked at me and I felt something I haven't felt ever since my mother died. That smile… This strange man was my saviour today. There were lots of things I have observed about this strange man, but the most dominant of them all is that he was very handsome.

As they conversed, Marvis discovered that the stranger was not merely a passerby but a fellow wanderer on the path of rediscovery. In the warmth of the bookstore's ambiance, Marvis sensed a connection that transcended the pages of the novels that surrounded them. Julian's enigmatic aura became a beacon, guiding her through the intricate layers of her own story. Their rendezvous in the quaint bookstore set the stage for a unique companionship, a literary dance where words intertwined, creating a narrative of shared passions, untold tales, and the unfolding odyssey of their intertwined fates.

I leaned down slowly, brushing my nose along the side of his neck, breathing in that warm honey and spiced apple scent that had been haunting me for days. “Well, can strangers do this?”

Something warm and terrifying and new. I'm starting to feel something for this man I barely know. This stranger who doesn't ask for anything, who doesn't make me feel small, who looks at me like I'm whole instead of broken. And that terrifies me more than Bryan’s betrayal ever did. Because caring again means risking everything all over again. And I don't know if I'm strong enough to survive another ending.
