Romans & histoires Small Spaces Book

Hah, I still have a long way to go. Looking at this books on my personal desk, Indeed, my father was granted a permission for me to have a special space in this exclusive chamber. It has been here without me even knowing it for the first two months. If not for that nosy person downstairs- I mean that one who I was talking to just a while ago -then there is no way I would know. This books seems to belong in those of magice, hah, this isn't what I am looking for. Putting a bookmark I closed the book and stand up.

Yvonne couldn’t help but ask when the trio didn’t utter a single word since they entered her apartment. Lily and Jack weren’t bothered by the mess but instead wondered why the room was so small. Although they were pleased with how tall the building was, it was a mystery to them how their favorite person’s home was so small. The living room alone was the size of Lily’s princess room, where she kept her toys and played with them. Still, they were happy to be at her home. “Your home is cute and beautiful,” Lily said, her definition of small. Micheal held back a chuckle.

Ivy liked what she saw, but the change from her tiny apartment to this massive space felt intimidating to her. “Not really. It appears larger than you think because there’s little furniture right now. It’ll become homier when we have it fully furnished. This is a perfect neighbourhood, conveniently close to the museum. Ivy could see Heath had his heart set in this place. She knew how Heath’s parents raise him and he didn’t feel comfortable living in small spaces or without house staff. He may have learned to cook, but Ivy thought he’d learned to cook so he could understand or grow. She still felt guilty for telling him he couldn’t survive without the help of others. She had one moment she wa

he muttered. A person downplaying something that is a big deal to most people is definitely well-off. How could anyone say that having a library at home is 'not much?' "Anyway, uhm, you could stay here for the meantime. I'm sorry if my place is small but you can never get a decent place here in New York within a budget. I'd say that I'm luckier than most since their apartment spaces are the size of a bathroom." Vida motioned for the couch behind him. "I guess you can sleep on the sofa? You'd have to bend a little since it's way too small for you. It's better than sleeping in a cardboard box though."

Caiden went directly to a shelf he knew, which confirmed the return visit, and came back with a book he handed to her without explanation. She looked at the cover. A collection of essays about cities — specifically about the spaces in cities that had no official purpose, the leftover places, alleys that went nowhere, courtyards that were technically public but felt private, stairwells in buildings that no one used because they were beside the elevator. "This is for me," she said. "I thought about you when I found it." He said it plainly, the way he said things he'd decided to stop managing. "The in-between spaces. The farmer's market photograph. The exhibition." He paused. "You have a thing

She stepped back from the door. I went in. The apartment was small and ordered in the way of someone who had made deliberate choices about what they kept and why. Books along one wall, real books, read books, the kind with broken spines and notes in the margins. A table by the window with two chairs, a bowl of fruit, a coffee cup that was half full and recently placed. Prints on the walls, not decorative but chosen, the kind that had meaning to the person who hung them. Morning light coming through a window that faced east, the same direction the light had been coming from on the walkway, filling the room with the particular quality of a desert morning, clean and warm and very clear.

One big step and I’m in, immediately hit with her scent, it’s like I’ve entered her world. This place is tiny, I barely fit in it. This is too small for her, she should have something grand, maybe I should buy her a place. There is clutter everywhere, nothing like the pristine, sterile spaces I’m used to, but it’s undeniably hers. A mix of dark, moody decor, haphazard stacks of books, just a lot of things everywhere. I slowly turn and she’s there, in the middle of it, staring at me like a deer in headlights, trying so hard not to show me how flustered she is. But I can smell it, the nerves.

"Outgrew it. Moved to a larger space in Silver Lake." A good reason. The right reason. The space had been used by someone who built something in it. I turned back to the room. Seven hundred square feet felt exactly right — not so small that the work would feel cramped, not so large that it would feel empty in the early days when it was just me. The kitchen along the wall was minimal and functional: a small sink, a refrigerator, counter space for a coffee machine. A bathroom through a door at the back. Storage along one wall. Room for two desks if I needed them, which at the moment I did not but would.

They came through the door in the space of five minutes. The apartment filled. Not overwhelmed. Filled. The specific quality of a space that was small enough to feel the presence of people without being too small to hold them. Victor came last. He was taller than I expected. My father's build. Adrian's eyes in an older face. He looked at the apartment. He looked at the map. He looked at the rock collection. He looked at Adrian. Then he looked at Noah. Noah was standing at the low table. Beside the limestone.

I stepped further inside, intending to wait by the couch, but the room's clean aesthetic caught my attention. It was the kind of space that would definitely distract anyone’s attention. Everything in it was deliberate. The wide desk, the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the motorised curtains all made the place look orderly and precise. I couldn’t stop myself from taking in the breathtaking view. The books on the shelf and the system architecture. Then I stopped. My eyes landed on a slim dark volume near the edge of the second shelf. The spine was black with silver lettering. Breach Protocol “D”
