CALEB

Even if I wanted to apologize I won't. She had to understand the world. Being helpful was gonna take her nowhere. I had a meeting and I just drove and drove to make my mind clear. I think I heard the Cafe right. Cafe Metal. Destiny wanted us to meet. Kiera was gonna be there too.

Ian: Hello. I am Scott Publisher's CEO. Ian Scott. I didn't think you'd come out like this. You have denied my reaching out many times. Why did you accept this time may I know?

Caleb: Just cause you came so far. What brings you to Minnesota?

Ian: Would it be boring if I said I came looking for you? I came for something else, but I contacted you so that I can meet you in person.

Caleb: You suggested a Boston themed calligraphy photobook right. Why Boston of all places?

Ian: I released a series of books based on Boston recently and a review left a large impression on me. It was nice to know that in the harsh and cold city there are still people who find it warm. I want to showcase those instances of warmth.

Caleb: That's nice. That's why it will be hard for me.

Ian: Can I ask the reason why?

Caleb: I don't think I can find it. Pictures of Boston which aren't cold and fierce.

I looked up to see the window. Kiera was passing by. She finally reached. Though she left before me she took more time to reach.

KIERA

It was a huge cafe. And it was a library too. Books and Coffee, not a better match made in the heaven. Just when I thought God graces weren't on me I realised I was wrong. The Greek God guy came and stopped in front of me.

Guy: Hey we meet again.

Kiera: Hello. You must really like books.

Guy: I do like books a lot. I got your postcard. Did you write the things on your social media platform by yourself?

Kiera: Yes because there are copyright issues if I write someone else things, they can get my post deleted or worse get me sued and I don't have time to deal with court cases so whatever comes naturally I write those. It's a sort of diary to me.

Guy: Well then that's the most beautiful diary I have ever seen. I liked what you wrote. Could relate to it. Your calligraphy as well.

Kiera: Thank you in many ways.

Guy: I didn't say anything worthy of gratitude.

Kiera: Truth be told I've been feeling a bit down, but what you said was really nice. I must really love this job.

Guy: It will gradually become more difficult. The more you like something ,the more difficult it becomes. But I hope you do continue. Goodbye then.

Kiera: Bye.

Well the vacation was worth it then. I bought a book and sat on one of the garden sofas.

Kiera: Ass. Even someone I just met is more kind.

Caleb: Is the ass me?

Kiera: What the fuckkk?? You are a ghost!! Are you following me?

Caleb: Where were you for so long? I've been waiting.

Kiera: Aren't you going to apologize for being such a shit?

Caleb: Me? Apologize? No. I am not going to be thankful or apologetic cause if I do you are gonna keep putting yourself on danger and help people.

Kiera: Am I stupid or what? I wouldn't do that for everyone.

Caleb: Don't do it for anyone. And I am... thirsty yes thirsty.
