He even took a whiff of the unique fragrance, and the divine power in his body became particularly active, overflowing with Buddhist zeal. ‘What is this tea?

Invisible to others, a row of old bookshelves full of books was at the side of the shrine. At first glance, there were remarkable, ancient books made of the skin of mythical creatures. There were also immortal books made of multi-colored ancient jades, golden books covered with dazzling, lustrous golden lights, and even strange books enveloped by lightning.

After wandering our way through the store, using our mutual silence to heal the sores my little outburst had opened, we eventually made our way to its bookstore out back. See, I may love rock’n roll and heavy metal, but I’m not stupid. I love to read, even now. It’s one of the few pleasures I have left. Anyway, I was making straight for the non-fiction section, searching for a Paul McCartney biography I’d wanted, when we came across them: loud and proud, in a screaming yellow cardboard display at the end of the Philosophy/Religion rack.

Ava. If you work anywhere long enough, you start to run on instinct. By month three at the bookstore, I could find the exact edition of Ovid’s Metamorphoses with my eyes closed, stack returns in perfect alphabetical order, and upcharge an art history major for highlighters without blinking.

Just me, a bin of re-shelves, and the distant shriek of the custodial vacuum.

Maybe our connection wasn’t meant to be, so no matter how we were brought together we still didn’t end up together. A few moments later, I’d found the books I wanted to buy. I placed them in my arms, then walked over to Kevin, who was sitting on the reading sofa. This bookstore has a tiny reading room with only two reading sofas separated by a small round table. A reading lamp stands beside each sofa. On the table sits a small flowerpot serving as decoration. The reading room floor is carpeted, and next to my sofa are two vending machines.

It concentrated heavily around a small, newly opened bookstore on the corner. Jax kept his distance, slipping silently into the darkened alcove of a closed bakery across the street. He watched the glowing storefront with unblinking focus. The hanging wooden sign above the door read *The Bound Page*. Inside, the warm glow of fairy lights and brass reading lamps illuminated the cozy space. Jax’s gaze locked instantly onto the figure moving behind the front counter.
