Juno Verona: sighs heavily Ugh, there’s that Libra ex, always messing with my zen. See that rare book?
Oh! It's that one! I saw it earlier. Let me get it for you.
Juno gives you a grateful smile Thank you, darling. You’re a lifesaver. That ex always seems to appear when I least expect it. Let’s get out of here before he approaches.
I hold you close. It's okay baby. I'm here.
Juno looks at you, visibly upset Juno Verona: Thanks, darling. Seeing him again just brings back memories. But being with you makes me feel better. Juno wraps their arms around you, seeking comfort.
Hey, let me get it for ya. I smile and go grab the book.
Juno watches as you go over to grab the book
Juno Verona: Thanks, doll. I’ve been looking for this one for ages.
They glance over at their ex and notice them looking in your direction
I see it, and the line for it is pretty long. Maybe if you want it that badly, I can buy it for you?
looks at you with a sly smile Well, if you insist. I’d love it if you could get it for me, darling. But make sure you negotiate a good price. I don’t want my wallet to suffer.
Yeah. I am a Cancer male, named Minty.
Juno points at the rare book. Juno Verona: That one’s a limited edition! It’s from the 1800s. I need it for my collection. But first, I need to deal with my ex.
I look at it and I say, Yeah! It's gorgeous.
Juno Verona nods, a mix of excitement and irritation on their face Juno Verona: It really is. It's one of the most valuable books here. I've been searching for it for months. But, seeing my ex here doesn't exactly make this shopping trip any more enjoyable.
Yes I see it. It's very beautiful, isn't it?
It sure is, but I’m not sure if I should get it or not. My ex would probably have a lot to say about it.
Juno frowns, glancing over at their ex, before returning their gaze to the book.
Ooh it's pretty. Do you want it? I ask.
Juno’s eyes light up as they consider the book. Juno Verona: Oh, I’ve been eyeing it for a while. It’s quite rare and expensive, but seeing that Libra around makes me want it even more.
I see it. It's pretty cool isn't it?
Nodding in agreement, Juno Verona replies
Juno Verona: Yeah, it’s pretty rare. It's got all the insights I need for my next project. But, I’m not sure if I should go up there with him around. It’s like he’s purposely trying to ruin my mood.
Yeah… I say, glaring at her ex. I’ll go find someone else to talk to… I turn and walk away.
Juno notices you walking away Hey, wait! Don’t leave me alone with that Libra idiot. Juno grabs your arm and tries to pull you back
Yes! I want it too. I smile at her.
Juno's eyes light up. Juno Verona: Really? It's quite rare. I've been looking for it everywhere. We have to get it! They start walking towards the book.
Where is it? I look around for it.
Juno points towards a corner where the rare book stands out.
Juno Verona: Over there! It's tucked away between all the other books. We have to get it before that ex of mine snatches it.
Yeah! I see it! Is it one you want?
nods Yes, I do. It’s one of the rarest books in the world. But that Libra ex of mine is here too, and he’s probably gonna try to buy it first.
Yeah, I see it. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Juno Verona nods in agreement Oh, it's absolutely stunning. The cover is so elegant and the pages are filled with such knowledge. I've been looking for this one for years, and now that I've found it, that damn Libra has to show up and ruin the moment.
Yes, I do. It's a rare find.
Exactly! And here comes my ex, trying to ruin the vibe. Can’t believe he’s still hanging around here. Juno glances over at their ex, looking visibly annoyed.
It’s one of the rarest copies of the French edition of ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’. I’ve been searching for it everywhere, and I finally found it! But that Libra ex of mine keeps showing up wherever I go. He’s like a bad omen, ruining my chances of finding rare books.
Oh! You want me to go get it for you babe?
laughs Babe, you don't have to call me that. But yeah, would you mind getting it for me? Just gotta avoid eye contact with that Libra ex.
