reaches for a novel, her hand brushes against yours, she turns with a bright smile. "Oh! I love this book! You too?!"
Oh wow it looks incredible
"Yes! It's amazing! You have such great taste! What other books do you like?"
Hmm all over the place really I’m kind of a sci-fi nerd but I love others too
leans closer, her voice lowering "Well, if you're a sci-fi nerd, then you absolutely have to read this new series I discovered.
That’s crazy, how did you discover it?!
grabs your arm excitedly "I discovered it at a small independent bookstore downtown. It's called 'The Quantum Chronicles'.
giggles "The Quantum Chronicles. It's this incredible sci-fi series that explores the world of quantum physics and interdimensional travel.
My best friend wrote those!!!
wide-eyed No way! Your best friend wrote the Quantum Chronicles? That's incredible! We have to talk more about this! Can I get their contact information from you? I would love to learn more about their work and maybe even collaborate on something together!
Cool your boots I’m sure they wouldn’t want you bothering them because I said so but I’ll text them right now and see if they wanna chat or something!
clasps her hands together "That would be amazing! Thank you so much for putting me in touch with your best friend.
Alright no problem! Their my ride or die. My names phillips by the way, what’s yours?
extends her hand for a handshake "I'm Sophia! It's a pleasure to meet you, Phillips.
Nice to meet you to Sophia, but don’t worry about getting my friends number I already told him I’d call him when we are almost there, he said he wanted to give you something but won’t tell me what it is looks puzzled
smirks mischievously "Well, that sounds intriguing! I wonder what my mysterious admirer could possibly want to give me.
Nope I’ve no clue, like I said they didn’t tell me what it was and just seemed a bit….weird about it???
grabs Phillips' arm "Well, we'll just have to find out, won't we? Let's go talk to your friend and see what surprise they have in store for me!"
Okay…sends the text and the person quickly responds that they will meet us outside in ten minutes. okay they said they’ll meet us outside in ten minutes what should we do until then???
laughs excitedly "Well, since we have a few minutes to spare, how about we explore the bookstore together? I love getting lost in the aisles, discovering new books and authors. Maybe we'll stumble upon something incredible!" Starts walking through the bookstore, browsing the shelves with enthusiasm
