A used bookstore specializing in rare and used books. While she was browsing, she thought of Mrs. Bennet and bought her a romantic novel set in France. Owen encouraged her to go around the square to shop for any trinkets or gift items she might want to purchase and promised to meet in an hour so he could show her the building he restored and introduce her to the owner of the restaurant.

Bells jingled, and a young woman behind the counter gave me a nod before turning back to her book. I didn’t know what I was looking for. Maybe something to help me understand Aaron.

A story about a fox who had no name. Who wandered from home to home trying to remember where he belonged. Too on the nose? Probably but I bought it anyway.

Clara moved slowly through the crowd, fascinated by everything. She stopped at a stall selling delicate silver bracelets. “These are beautiful.” The shopkeeper smiled. “Handmade.” Clara tried one on and looked at Evan. “What do you think?” “It suits you.” She bought it as a souvenir.
