When Dan and Phil got onto their train and found their seats, Dan immediately started reading the book. Well firstly, he read the blurb first. He notice that it has comment from John Green on the bottom of the book.

"Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book"
-John Green.     
Author of 'The Fault in our Stars'

Dan is mates with John Green and red some of his book and to be honest, when reading The Fault in our Stars, it hit Dan right in the feels and he cried at the end. That's how great his books are. Since he's a master of writing romance and teen fiction, if he makes a comment in a book, you could immediately tell it's going to be a good book.

So he decided to give the book a go.

~~~

After 30 minutes of reading and Dan is almost half way. Have to say, he was really enjoying this book. He had to stop for 10 minutes because of travel sickness and so his eyes could adjust.

'How's the book going? Dan'

'I'm really enjoying it... Do you think she'll mind?'

Phil thought about it for a couple of seconds. Pulling out his headphones out of his ears during the progress.

'No, no I don't think she'll mind. She'll mind if you ruin the book though'

Dan chuckled as he stared back out of the window. The empty fields of greenery and little villages cover his view. He quite miss the little towns and the fresh air, instead of the noisy traffic of London and the thick cigarette smoke you accidentally inhale at almost at every corner you turn. He might plan to have a little holiday out of London this year. Maybe.

'Dan... Can I ask you a question?'

'You just did Phil'

'God. Anyway, When you were talking to the girl, did you catch her name?'

He thought back to their little conversation. To be honest, he didn't think she even spoke at all.

'I don't think she even spoken a word, she didn't even say anything when she fell over, not even a whispered curse'

'She's just probably shy and embarrassed after that little incident'

'Yeah, let's go with shy'

'Or, she must of gotten abducted by alien giraffes and stolen her voice box and use it for examination. Never trust a giraffe'

'I'm going to go with shyness. You spork...... Giraffes are pretty weird'

Dan is currently sitting Louise's lounge room as Phil and Louise are filming in her room upstairs. Every now and then he could heard them laughing or Louise stuffing up her sentences. Taking it a bit longer than usual. He decided to continue reading the book. He thought about going on social media and make a ironic tweet. But decided to keep on reading the book.

1 hour later, Louise and Phil have finished filming their videos for both of their channels. Dan stopped every now and then just so his eyes could adjust. But other than that, he's nearly finished.

'Dan.. With a book.. Not on his phone or laptop.. a book... and not just any book, a romance book. Where's the real Dan Howell and what have you done to him?'

Dan jumped when he heard Louise's voice, he didn't even hear them come down stairs.

'Fucking hell Louise. Scared me half to death there'

'Good, now explain'

'Well this morning, I was waiting for Phil outside of our apartment door when a girl had tripped over the stairs so I decided to be a gentlemen and help her and-'

'Woah, hold up. A girl you say'

'Yeah, a human female with breasts and a vagina'

'How old is this girl?'

'Umm probs around my age.. Why?'

'It's a sign, Dan, It's a sign that you could find love again. Including you Phil. You might sweep her off her feet.'

Louise winked and smiled towards Phil and Dan, whilst Phil plonked himself right next to Dan on the couch.

'Louise, Dan and I have the American tour for our book in a few of months and each month are getting busier and busier, I doubt that girl wants to be part of our hectic lives, even if one of us start seeing her, we wouldn't have some time to spend with her.'

'Hmm, I see your point Phil, to be honest I'd totally forgot you guys had an American Tour. Anyways, what's her name, by the way?'

'Well, whilst we were talking. Well, it was mostly me talking, she never spoken a word. Not even her name' Dan added.

'So... she's shy?'

'That's what we're guessing'

'Huh, well then. They say the shyest people are the cutest'
