"We are selling our Growth. These races have reached the end of their stories. They’ve solved every equation and smoothed over every conflict. They are coming to us because we are the only people in the galaxy who still know how to make a mistake."

I said, small. "Great," Dr. Hartman said and pressed a second star on my sweater. "Two today. You're being brave." Miss Vivienne's smile folded the air. "Do-Over Stories help us make better memories," she whispered. "When you tell them, they get stronger." After a while, the stories became like a repeated song. Miss Vivienne would tell one version and then ask me to say it back three times. Each time I said it, Dr. Hartman stuck another star. My hands got sticky with the shine and my chest felt both full and empty.

It feels like this is my first book signing since I still have a feeling of nervousness and happiness. “If you know, my new released book is inspired by someone’s story. I know that you know that some of my pieces are inspired by other’s story, but that story is so important to me, so I’m happy that you still visit here and buy the book,” I say. I saw the one big glass cabinet that is empty already, the other big glass cabinets are empty as well. After a few minutes, the staff went on the stage. “Okay, of course this day won’t end without giveaways, am I right?” the staff ask the audience, they scream. I can’t remove my smile while I’m watching them.

Bennett smiled and replied, "We also went through a situation where we started with fifty people and ended up with less than ten." He continued, "Once, I took my sister to a talk, and she said, 'Bennett, I'm lost with all this talk about illegal fundraising. Is it like stealing someone's job? I don't get it. Those older folks might not understand it either. Can't you tell stories better to make it clearer?'" Bennett shared, "So, I changed my approach and started telling stories with real cases. The response was great. Even kids came and participated. That was the result I wanted."

There was one solitary, big book on a low table between them. "The title of the tale is The Binding of Autumn," he began, his voice an entrancing whisper just in harmony with the shriek of the fire. “It's the tale of a harvest god who offers a mortal woman a choice: one night of absolute freedom for one year of unimaginable riches for her people." He didn't move as his eyes met hers. "The consent is the matter at hand. It must be freely bestowed, not coerced, and whispered three times into the skin of his throat." “Do you have any idea what sort of story you're going to be reading me tonight?”

“I told you, I won’t force you.” “But we must, I mean we can’t fake the-” “We’ll mark each other. It'll be enough to sustain our story. I know how you feel about it, but the mark will fade away eventually. We'll renew it once in a while.” By the end of this talk, he was only in his underwear. A small whimper escaped my mouth causing me to slap a hand over it. His laugh filled the room. Despite the turmoil of emotions that were ravaging my mind, I couldn’t deny the fact that his body was nothing less than perfect.

“I can just send the pictures directly to your DM.” I yanked his phone from him for the second time today. “Posted,” I said to him. “Naughty girl." he bopped my nose with his fingers. “Well, you can't do without this naughty girl.” I laughed. “I am very happy that we are back together as friends.” “I am happy too. Let us gist. I am bored." “Gossiper!” “It is not gossip. it is gisting. They are two different things.” I hissed. He laughed. God! He looks very handsome when he laughs.
