I grinned, "I'm Noah. Full-time coffee pusher, part-time hopeless romantic. Currently wondering what it'd take to make you smile." "You talk too much," he said, eating a piece of his muffin. "Yeah, well, someone has to fill the silence. You gonna tell me why you never chat back? Bad ex? Allergy to cute baristas?" Elias set his cup down. His gaze dropped to my mouth for half a second before snapping back up. "Not interested in small talk." My pulse kicked up. "Who said anything about small? I can do big talk. Deep talk. Whatever you want."

"Billy? Huh, oh yeah, I'm fine. Yes. Lunch today, right." "Good, can't wait." She smiled again and left him with his jaw hanging open and a deer in the headlights gaze. When she got back to her desk, she sent Nicki a text asking him if he wanted to meet her for dinner and they could maybe go over their book club reading together. They met on Thursdays every other week for their book club. Most of the time, she got through half the book before she gave up and read the last chapter. Nicki would fill her in on the way over to the meeting what parts she was missing.

he interrupted. “Stop following me Jax,” I commanded establishing my authority changing the conversation because at the end of the day he was just a massive fan of mine. “No, I want recommendations on books, preferably the slow burns with two people trying to fight their connection when they were soulmates from the moment they met but they were blind.” I know what he was doing. He was trying to describe our romance but ours was a tragedy, not a romance in my books anyway. I huffed annoyed and played his game, by saying “I would recommend Birthday Girl by Penelo-“

“Don’t wait up.” I heard Sienna say something to Nathan as we left, something low and amused, but the door was already closing behind us and I didn’t catch it. I didn’t want to. **** Cat took us to a small bar two streets over, the kind of place with low lighting and booths deep enough that the rest of the world felt very far away. She ordered two gin and tonics before we even sat down properly. “Talk,” she said, dropping into the seat across from me.

During the course of the lunch, Jannis strikes up a conversation with Jake, inquiring about his favorite aspects of the bookshop and related childhood stories. Jake finds it interesting to hear Jannis talk about her childhood because he finds out so much about her background. As he reminisces, he laughs at his own mischief from his youth. Jake finds himself refocusing on Anna as the evening goes on, observing her elegant movements as she attends to other tables. In her return to see how they are doing, he takes advantage of the situation to be a little flirtatious. To Jake, "So, Anna, do you live around here? This is such a lovely town." Anna grins courteously, as if pleased by his curiosity

"Hey, you're back. Are you okay? You look kind of pale." "I'm fine. Just need the restroom." She pointed toward the back of the store and I made my way through the aisles, past the fiction section and the travel guides and the cluster of women who were still gathered around the display table talking about my wife's book. They had been joined by a few more people now, their voices overlapping in a chorus of enthusiasm that made my stomach turn. "The chemistry is unreal," one of them was saying. "I've never read anything like it. Usually romance novels are so predictable but this one feels different. It feels real."

She is smiling like she found something that just made her day. “What’s with the books?” Romy bounced onto the bed, “First, the romance book section in your library is awesome. We totally need to check it out together. Second, I got these pack law books. These are the first two of four.” I smiled. Of course, she had already gone to the library. Her weapon is her mind and sharp tongue. She uses them well, too. “Did you find something interesting?”

"You have a fire in your soul, Celess. A passion for life that I find... intoxicating. I wanted to share that with you." Celess felt her heart racing in her chest. She had always been drawn to danger, but this was different. This was the ultimate forbidden romance, and she didn't know if she was ready for it. But as she looked into Steve's dark eyes, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. She didn't know what the future held, but she knew that she wanted to spend it with him. Without a word, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Steve's neck, pressing her lips to his in a fierce, passionate kiss. As they kissed, she felt like she was finally home.

I turn around and take a look at those. "They don't feel the same anymore", I tell him. He immediately frowns in confusion. "So, you got bored with ROMANCE?" "No. But there's a reason", I say, leaning against the shelf and placing my palm over the books. Then I slowly trace my hand over them. "And the reason is—" he leans back too, a foot of distance between us but we can clearly hear each other whispering. "People who read romance, mostly women—" I giggle. "They want to escape reality. So, they can find more beautiful things in fiction"

It's either history, military, or supernatural romances. I've never understood why so many people preferred such kinds of novels and genres all that much. Though, I meant that for the latter part. They're basically the same every single time. An average lady meets one sexy, handsome, extraordinary man, or two hot males battle over her, and there's usually some ridiculous drama that brings her further and deeper together with the men, and then she has to choose the obvious decision. Everyone had predicted her decision since the very beginning of the chapter. "And they're usually sequels or fantasy epics," I mumbled to myself.
