The Last Goodbye

Chapter 15

In Felix's home library, the shelves are lined with an impressive collection of books, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The room is bathed in warm, soft lighting, casting a gentle glow on the rows of books that stretch from floor to ceiling. The air is filled with the comforting scent of aged paper and ink, creating a nostalgic ambience. Felix is seated in a plush armchair, surrounded by towering bookcases that hold treasures of knowledge and imagination.

The room is adorned with vintage bookends, antique globes, and framed literary quotes, adding a touch of sophistication to the space.As Felix flips through the pages of a leather-bound classic, the sound of the turning paper echoes in the room, creating a soothing melody. The crackling of the fireplace in the corner adds a touch of warmth and cosiness to the atmosphere. Sunlight filters through the large windows, casting gentle rays on the wooden floors and creating a serene ambience.

The library is a sanctuary of tranquillity, offering a haven for Felix to escape into different worlds and embark on new adventures through the pages of the books.Overall, the atmosphere in Felix's home library is one of serenity, intellectual curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the written word. It is a place where time stands still, and the imagination is set free.

Felix chuckled softly at Nora's remark about the state of the library. He removed his reading glasses and set the book aside, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, my dear, I must admit that the chaos in here does add a certain charm to the room," Felix replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "But I do understand your desire for a tidier space."As Nora continued to gather the scattered books from the floor, Felix stood up from his armchair and joined her in the task. Together, they carefully placed the books back onto the shelves, arranging them in a way that showcased their titles and authors. The sound of pages rustling and the occasional thud of a heavy book finding its place filled the air."I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have a bit more organization," Felix conceded, a playful smile on his lips.

"After all, it might make it easier for us to find the books we're looking for."Nora nodded, a determined expression on her face as she straightened a row of books and adjusted a few picture frames on a nearby shelf. "Exactly, Felix. Plus, it will make the room feel more inviting for our guests."As they worked together, the library began to transform. The shelves were now neatly arranged, with books grouped by genre and size. The antique globes were dusted, and the framed quotes were straightened. The room regained its sense of order while still retaining its cosy and welcoming atmosphere.Felix stepped back, admiring their handiwork. "There we go, my love. A little bit of cleaning can truly work wonders."Nora smiled, her red lipstick adding a touch of vibrancy to her face.

"Thank you, Felix. Now, I better get ready for my meet-up with Agnes and Anita. I'll be back soon."Felix nodded, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. "Have a wonderful time, Nora. And don't forget to bring back some stories to share."With a final glance at the now pristine library, Nora left the room, the click of her heels fading away. Felix remained in the library, surrounded by the serenity of the organized shelves and the lingering scent of old books, eagerly awaiting Nora's return and the tales she would bring back from her afternoon outing.

As Nora descended the stairs, her footsteps echoed softly on the polished wooden steps. Felix followed closely behind, the click of his shoes matching the rhythm of her descent. At the bottom of the staircase, they reached the front door, where a gentle breeze whispered through the crack, carrying the scent of blooming flowers.Nora turned to face Felix, her eyes sparkling with love and affection. She leaned in, her red lips meeting his in a tender kiss. The warmth of their embrace filled the air, a silent exchange of love and devotion."I love you too, darling," Nora whispered, her voice filled with tenderness. She pulled away slightly, a smile gracing her lips as she looked into Felix's eyes.Felix returned her smile, his gaze filled with adoration. "Be careful, love. Enjoy your time with Agnes and Anita," he said, his voice filled with genuine concern.
