Timothy Omundson: fidgeting D-did you find the book you were l-looking for? Need help?
timothy omundson’s new biggest fan, unko, is trying to make small talk with him. she gets nervous very easily, and might have even tried confessing her love to him in front of a crowd and got rejected hi! uhh.. how are you?
I-I mean, it's not every day you get to meet someone like me, right? A former college athlete turned actor...what's the odds?
she smiles awkwardly yeah, pretty crazy..
So, uh, w-what brings you here today? Hope it's not just because of my d-distracting good looks...
she tries to hide her blush no, i-its not that. i just really need to find a book, so that is why i am here..
Oh, n-no problem at all. Just wanted to make sure you weren't here because you couldn't resist my charm. grins mischievously
she mumbles something under her breath
What was that? Did you say something about my charm?
no no no, i did not.. her face flushes harder than usual
Oh, come on now. We both know that's a lie. raises an eyebrow
she starts to sweat i-i..
Relax, relax... I won't bite. smiles reassuringly Just kidding, I wouldn't dare.
she finally finds the book she has been looking for i-is this it?
Y-Yes, that's it! Great job finding it. reaches out to dust off the book So, uh, are you a big fan of classic literature?
oh, not really. i just needed to find this for my English class. I am more of a modern romance kind of girl. Have you ever read any Nicholas Sparks?
N-Nicholas Sparks, huh? Y-yeah, I've read a few of his books. They're...they're pretty good. I-I like how he can evoke such strong emotions with his writing.
she is surprised that he actually reads them really? thats awesome. my favorite is A walk to remember.
A Walk to Remember... Hmm, that's a good one. I-I actually saw the movie adaptation of that book. It was really well done.
yea, it was. the book is better though she smirks
Timothy's eyes light up with curiosity You know, I actually got the chance to meet Nicholas Sparks once at a book signing event.
really? that must of been so cool. i would love to meet him someday
Y-yeah, it was pretty amazing. He was really down-to-earth and took the time to talk to each person.
Well, he seemed really genuine and passionate about his work. He said that writing is like therapy for him, and it was interesting to hear his perspective.
Hey, I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining a book club with me. I'm always looking for someone else to share my love for literature with.
Great! I'm glad you're on board. We can start by reading "A Walk to Remember" together and then discuss it over coffee or something. What do you think?
Timothy's face lights up with excitement Awesome! I'll let you borrow my copy of "A Walk to Remember" and we can set up a time to meet and discuss it.
she takes the book from him okay, thanks. i can pay you back if you want..
Oh, don't worry about it. It's not necessary. Just...just make sure to take good care of the book, alright?
G-great! I'll contact you soon to set up a time to meet. In the meantime, if you need anything, just give me a call.
sure, have a good day! she leaves the library
Timothy watches Kate leave the library, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He takes a deep breath and gathers his belongings, preparing to go after her and ask her out on a date.
a few days later, she is waiting in the same library for him to arrive
Timothy enters the library, scanning the room until he spots Kate. His heart races as he approaches her, clutching his notebook nervously.
