“Chill bro. It’s just… not what I was expecting ” He shrugged, flipping another page. “I keep telling you not to judge me with your assumptions.” “I'm sorry if my assumptions don't fit your personality,” I said, taking the seat across from him. “Why this book?” I asked, stealing the opportunity to know what the real Kael is like. “I like books that… make me think. And this one does.” “Think about what?” I asked, hoping my curiosity wasn't obvious. “Is this some sort of interview?” he asked, placing the book on the table without closing it.

“Wеll, we lаdіеѕ lоvе оur book bоуfrіеndѕ.” An amused grin tоuсhеd hіѕ lірѕ. “Bооk bоуfrіеndѕ?” “Yеаh, thаt’ѕ what wе саll hot guуѕ іn bооkѕ that wе wіѕh wеrе rеаl.” His еуеbrоwѕ rоѕе іn ѕurрrіѕе. “And dо you have any bооk bоуfrіеndѕ?”

“I’m not sleeping like this.” My eyes drifted around the room until they landed on the book resting on the side table. The one I had taken earlier from Drake’s library. I hesitated.

He calmed himself down and again looked at the book 'This can only mean one thing, this book is fake. No one will ever believe this as true. It depicts confusion on readers between the reality and not knowing that the book exemplifies magic with the word witch. Then it was only meant to be a story to read. Nothing more nothing less'

**** The bookstore is well known throughout Indonesia because of its branches everywhere. Like now, Alsava is rarely interested in Best Seller shelves because they are often deceived by stories that promise to make crying and laughing together.

Somewhere in the city—several stories above, in a steel and glass building—Julian Blackwood lay in his dark, sleek bedroom, staring at the book she had given him. He'd never intended to keep it. When Lena Carter had offered it to him—those gentle words, that thoughtful crease between her eyebrows—he'd intended to refuse. But something in her eyes had taken away his intention. It was neither flirting nor pretense. It was genuine. Silent. Generous. He hated kindness. It broke things open. Julian gazed down at the book. The cover was unadorned, the title in gold print: *A Man Called Ove*. He remembered Lena's words:

"I'm majoring in English." He smirks, "You're a book nerd?" "I'm a bibliophile. There's a difference." He leans in, his lips inches from mine. "Oh yeah, so enlighten me. What is the difference?"
