I was relaxing on the couch lost in thought about everything and what I should do.
'I should call Grace and Dave to see if I have the financials for this.... Who am I kidding they are going to say yes to the whole thing and then give me a budget and approve the place or not.... This is gonna be a process.'
I was soon pulled out of my thoughts when Spencer spoke up.
"What's wrong?" Spencer asked as he slowly traced circles on my arms as we watched the new movie that was on.
"I'm thinking of selling my shop and relocating."
"What?! Why?"
"Don't get me wrong I love it and there's so many memories there.... but Jade's death seems to ruining all of them. And I can't make any new ones to out weigh it."
"Do you have enough money to do so?"
"I am financially stable. I mean if I wanted to I could probably buy this whole building and rent it to everyone." I stated.
"Selling vintage books to rich people must do wonders."
"Also book fairs are amazing. Great prices for them as well."
"I didn't know we had book fair here."
"We don't. They are mostly held in Washington, so I go there and get books. The boys will join me if they aren't travelling and Zack joins as well. Often it's actually us two getting books while the boy band muck about and complain."
"Strange group."
"We are."
"But do you think it's a good idea to sell your shop? I mean.... It's where we met."
"It's the only option I can think of. I wish there was another way for me to keep the joint..... but I don't think there is."
'I wish there was though.'

I was tapping my pen on my paper at my desk since I was trying to work out how I could help River.
'I need at least one good thing that will have her keep the shop. But what?'
"Pretty boy!" Morgan exclaimed making me look towards them.
"Yeah?"
"We've been trying to get your attention for the last 15 minutes." He told.
"Sorry. I've been trying to work something out."
"Maybe we can help." Penelope told as she pulled a seat up next to me.
"River is thinking about selling her bookshop."
"What why?!" They all asked minus Hotch and Rossi since they were talking to Sweets who snuck in to update them on Rivers situation.
"She's having trouble trying to associate it away from Jade's death."
"I remember it when she saw the place the first time. Her eyes lit up and she said she knew what she wanted to do now..... she didn't want to leave her friends or Sniper but she felt like she needed to own a bookshop in that place." Jj explained.
"I remember when we met there. She hit me with a broom." I told making us all chuckle.
"She gave me that book for such a great price which I gave you." Penelope added.
"She was going to give me a book for free if I wouldn't pay for it." Emily continued.
"I remember checking her out when we went to look over her footage." Morgan told
"Yeah she still has my jumper from that." I added.
"She really going to sell it despite meeting most of us there?" Penelope asked.
"Pretty much. Unless I can work out how to change it and have you all not think she's cheating on me." I stated giving them a look.
"Yeah we had that one coming." Emily told making them all nod.
"So let's plan." Morgan told.
'Please let one of these work.'
