Raymond Library Novels & Stories

“Can we go?” Ray nodded. “Sure.” The library was tucked behind tall iron doors at the end of a quiet wing. A guard stopped us as we approached and looked down at Ray’s boots. “No muddy boots in the library.” Ray looked at his feet and groaned. “Seriously?” I laughed. “It’s okay. I’ll just be a second. I already know what I'm looking for.” “You sure?” “Yeah. I’ll be fine.” Ray stepped back, muttering something about needing a nap, and I slipped inside.

Raymond’s POV I hit the base floor, heart pounding now. My boots thudded against the tile a little too loud. The librarian—Cassandra—looked up from her desk, brows furrowed. "Is everything alright?" "No," I said quietly. "Do you have a back exit?" Her eyes widened just a touch. She nodded. "Through the archives," she whispered. "But sir—those men upstairs—" "Yeah. I saw them. I don’t think they’re here for the books."

Naomi’s POV The hallway echoed under my heels as I made my way toward the library. I wasn’t looking for a book—at least not the kind you read. I needed silence, a place to think. But more than that, I needed space from him. Raymond. Ever since the dinner, he’d been acting differently, not cold—but careful. Like he was watching me and not just with his eyes. With his mind.

His words wiped the smirk off Raymond's face successfully. "You--" Raymond let out half of a roar, and Evelyn cut in nervously, worrying they make a scene there-- "I'm sorry, we didn't know this was your seat," Evelyn apologized quickly, failing to get the real reason why Raymond was so upset, "actually, I thought you were out of town today so..." "Why?" Raymond frowned in confusion, and Evelyn blinked before she turned to look at Edward, who was grinning at her evilly -- Edward knew perfectly well it was Raymond's seat, AND the fact that Raymond went to Bombay Sapphire every night when he had the time. He told Evelyn Raymond was out of town just so Raymond would bump into them.

I hesitated but then nodded. “Alright,” I said and continued to head out of the hospital. We head to Raymond’s house on Tulmish Street. I remembered the first time I was here. I look at where Ruby had stood with her bags, crying and angry. She had not wanted to come with me then. And here we are again. This time Raymond welcomed me into his home. Leon wasn’t feeling friendly toward him, and I had to calm him down and remind him that Ruby had already settled her differences with her father.

He switched on the TV and began watching some shows. Reva had recommended him a new show, and since he did not have to play chess with Hugh, he would watch the show. … Raymond stopped with a stern face in his tracks when he passed by Mansion No.8 in the Kingstone Garden. “This is where Mr. Yarde is staying, right?” Raymond mumbled to himself, “I wonder if I can ask for help from Mr. Yarde…” After hesitating for a moment, Raymond heaved a sigh and continued walking toward the Primrose Deck.

You were putting me first in your mind. - While Charlie and Jasmine were exchanging texts, Raymond had just left his hotel with a sling bag as he crossed over to Antique Street, ready to open shop for the day. When he was around three hundred yards from Treasure Measure, Trippy called out to him, "Oh, Mr. Cole! You're really running late!" Raymond chuckled. "You call this late? Don't other shops open far later than this?" Trippy shrugged. "There are people flocking outside your shop, and there are a lot of them."

Most times Thelma spend the night in Thelma's house, sometimes they went to bed hungry and tired, other times they had little food to share between them.

She is such a fun little kid, and I am so lucky to have her in my life. When we walk in, Mrs. Carmichael, the head librarian, is shocked to see us during the middle of the week. She comes around the front desk and gives Maddie a big hug. She has always had a soft spot for Maddie. They even email periodically about new books coming to the library that Mrs. Carmichael thinks Maddie will like or ones that Maddie asks her to get. We don’t have to go far into the library today.
