“My grandmother gave this to me when I was child, hoping I would be able to master the skills of witch. It's a beginners guide to becoming a witch. It will help you.” I nod and slowly take the book from her. It's heavy. “I know beginning a new life is hard but I want you to know that you are not alone in all of this.

I tossed it back into the drawer and chose the other by default. "The beginning of the end" I read out from the cover, then paused it think about it for a second "Hmm...interesting" I said, flipping through to the first chapter.

I ate to my fill and lay down supine, meditating on the unfolding storyline.

Thank you. This book began as a simple idea: what if two people who thought they were enemies were really just terrified of how deeply they could love each other?

"Seriously? How have I never heard of this place?" The kid pulled out a palm-sized booklet and handed it over. "Here's the brochure. Show this when you arrive, and you'll get 10% off your first year.

I cannot believe I just got married. Well, that’s my story of it all. A story of a new beginning. I never thought it would’ve happened, but it did. Life is all about the goals and ambitions we work hard towards reaching. Aiming high and setting high standards for ourselves. It’s the small things in life that are the most valuable and have the most meaning. The most important thing is being surrounded by people who are close to you and embracing what you have.

I had finally changed my fate completely in this life. As I walked out of the bureau, sunlight poured over me. It was warm and gentle. Wynnie followed behind me numbly. Just as I was about to get into a taxi, she suddenly called out, “Miles, do we still have a chance to start over?” I did not even turn around. I only replied in a cold voice, “I’m not someone who stoops to that level, so don’t humiliate yourself in front of me. From now on, we’re strangers.”

In addition to her worries, the board members without her father's authority had set up an emergency meeting to discuss Lydia and Andrew's position but mostly on Lydia. But out in front of the Miller's restaurant all over the country, as soon as it was 8 a.m, one of the employees opened the door inviting the people in, everyone instantly rushed in until they were cautioned to be organized. From that moment on, and throughout the rest of the day, what was trending was Lydia's book with a very appealing title written with white font on the black front cover: The Clap Back.
