Book Beat の小説・ストーリー

"We have to use oil on the book covers to keep them from falling apart." "Oil. Right," Devon said. He walked over to a shelf and pulled out a small book with a blue cover. He held it out to me. "Here. This is a Southern poem. I found it in a box last year. Since you're so far from home, maybe you'd like to read a bit of it for me? It’s been ages since I’ve heard a Southern accent." I stared at the book. My hands started to sweat. If I read out loud for too long, my voice would crack. I would lose the high pitch.

“Just look at it. Does it look like a poison to you? Let alone a miracle drug? I think not.” “Mom!” Damon hisses. Beatrice ignores him, holding the vial up to the light. “It’s clear, odorless. And I just bet it tastes like nothing. Just like water. Only a fool like you would fall for such a cheap trick and bid millions on this.” I watch her without saying a word. She steps closer to me, her voice low. “Let me teach you a lesson, little girl. This is how the real world works. You don’t just jump into something without thinking. You assess, you plan, and then you act. You clearly missed the first two steps.”

The elder let out a long sigh, clearly helpless. "Byron is completely ruined. He's out of his mind every day—drinking, fighting, nothing else. "He always gets drunk and rambles on about being some kind of factory manager, even claiming the Gamma's like his brother. "After he and Lisa marked each other, she still betrayed him. Byron's been drowning in the pain of heartbreak ever since. "These past few years, Lisa got pregnant three times. But every time she was about to give birth, Byron beat her until she lost the baby. One time, he even gave a stillborn to a witch to use as a catalyst for forging a magic weapon."

"Moonshine...you are here ..hic...why did you come?" "Sunshine let's leave, I will drop you off at home" "I don't want to .....Bee said she is too drunk...to drive" "Okay, I will call Mathew he will drop Bee off at home" "Hey Jayden, nice ....to ...meet you" Bibiana came forward and extended her hand. Jayden shakes her hand and said with a smile "Nice to meet you too" "He he he...shhhh. let me tell you a secret ..."

However, the one next to her did not even move, as he continued to read. A colleague sitting next to him tried to almost force him out of the chair. “I have a proposal! “Jo said politely. “Please take the book. I have an e-book home.” “No. I will give it back. Can I have your phone number? We could have a coffee, lunch, or maybe dinner.” He stuttered. “You really don't need to.” ‘All in all, the passenger is quite a nice man!’ She thought. ‘Okay, nice body!’ She admitted.

Knight rose his arms, inviting Raven's attack, "I beat you, you blow me. If you beat me, I'll do the same. How's that?" "Why would I even get into such a bet?! Moron!" Raven swiped the leaves off his body and turned to leave. Knight blocked his way. "Well, because you are hard again, for one," Knight nodded at Raven's groin, "And two, because you THINK you can win." "I CAN win!" Raven clenched his teeth.

"They will be expecting you to react defensively, to appear threatened." "Then I won't appear threatened," "How will you appear?" I looked at the document one more time, at the four-hundred-year-old statute that Drax had found and polished into a weapon, at the careful legal architecture of someone who had spent months building this specific structure for this specific moment. "Interested," I said. "I'll appear interested. Because if they want a hearing on whether this bond is real, I am genuinely curious to watch them try to argue that it isn't."

We were surprised when he told us that he would pursue the medicine. “What?” he raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. “Can you hide that thick book of yours?” his thick eyebrows met and shook his head on me. “This is our family dinner, so keep that book. Is that what you’re going to eat, huh?” His lips protruded. “Just get your cam, Ms. President.” I sharply eyed him. The side of his lips lifted. I frowned when I saw that. This med guy is a bully! He tapped the space beside him. I scoffed and sat down next to him. I stared at his thick book, wincing. I wonder how he manages to read the whole book. So thick. I think it was even thicker than Worth’s face.
