CHAPTER 1
It was evening, I was in my room, finishing my notes when I heard my parents arguing downstairs.
I went out of my room and stood near the stairs listening to their heated argument
Elianna Glavera || FL's Mom
It has been so many years but still your mind is always outside!
Elianna Glavera || FL's Mom
Why don't you just divorce me!?
Edric Glavera || FL's Dad
*slams the table* Don't even think about getting divorce!
Elianna Glavera || FL's Mom
So what you want me to do!? Watch you drink with your friends all day long!?
Edric Glavera || FL's Dad
So what!? It's not as if I committed some crime!
It has been 18 years.. I have been enduring this ever since my childhood
To get rid of the rumours in the neighborhood, my mom even decided to change cities, but what's the point if they still keep arguing like this?
As the thoughts in my head start to haunt me, i sneak out of the house trying the escape from the mess
Even though I'm new to this city, it's surprising how I've already found my comfort place here too.. A bookstore
Not a normal one, but a vintage one
As i enter the bookstore, i notice a cat sitting on the chair
As i bend down to pet it, I hear someone's voice from behind
Nathan Ledger
His name is Leo
I stand up to greet the strange boy and the cat jumps down from the chair and rubs his soft fur against his leg.
Annais Glavera || FL
He's cute
Nathan Ledger
*chuckle* Ofc he is!
Saying that, he sits on the floor as Leo curls himself on his lap while nuzzling his head against his hand
Nathan Ledger
So you like cats, huh?
Annais Glavera || FL
Yeah, I like them-
Nathan Ledger
Me too!! They're just so cute!!! *excited*
Annais Glavera || FL
(Quite extroverted i see..)
Annais Glavera || FL
*smiles* So... This is your shop?
Nathan Ledger
Yeah. Wait- no- it's my grandfather's but sometimes i take care of this shop when I'm free.
Annais Glavera || FL
I see..
I stared at the cat who fell asleep peacefully in the boy's lap
Nathan Ledger
Do you like this place?
Annais Glavera || FL
Uhm.. It feels good here. I like reading books
Nathan Ledger
Woahhh! You like.... Reading? Seriously?
Annais Glavera || FL
You don't?
Nathan Ledger
Bleh- it's boring as hell. I don't know how people even like that
Annais Glavera || FL
*chuckle*
Nathan Ledger
I mean come on, how can words have feelings? They're literally ink on paper!
Nathan Ledger
Humans surely are weird
Annais Glavera || FL
*smiles* Yk, words really do have feelings
Nathan Ledger
*rolls eyes* come on, now at least you don't start with those poetries and all
Nathan Ledger
Oh yes, btw, I'm Nathan.
Annais Glavera || FL
I'm Annais
Annais Glavera || FL
*nods*
Nathan Ledger
Aha! Wanna have a tour of the shop, m'lady?
Annais Glavera || FL
M'lady? You surely know how to attract others with your sweet words
Nathan Ledger
*grins* It's my speciality
