The Hockey Captain's Hidden Plus-Size Luna
After a while, we finished there as I celebrated my victory, although I knew he let me win.
We then walked past a row of stores as something caught my eye… a small bookstore tucked between a phone case shop and a smoothie place. I slowed without meaning to, and Kade noticed immediately.
“You want to go in?”
“We don’t have to…”
“Selene.” He was already taking me toward the entrance. “We’re going in.”
The store smelled like paper and old ink, and I felt myself relax the second we stepped inside. I wandered toward the fiction section, running my fingers along a row of spines, pulling one out here and there to read the back cover.
