Juliette simply could not being herself to respond to Armani texts. If she went to the airport it meant he was truly gone. She would only see him once a year maybe, if she was lucky.

She was going to be studying art in Galway, her hometown.

He was studying history in Palermo, his home country.

She was debating on whether texting Armani to see if he got on his flight okay but eventually decided against it. Figuring that he would already be asleep on the plane at this point. Juliette settled on visiting the library. To read up on the story of Romeo and Juliet.

She loved walking to places. She adored taking in nature, occasionally despising the destruction of nature in the city.

The library she went to was small and quaint but was better than any she's ever been to. It always seemed to have everything.

She entered the coffee scented structure and immediately approached the Shakespeare section. She reached for the book with the gold cursive font, 'Romeo and Juliet'.

However, she couldn't get it out. It seemed like something was holding it back. She let go of the book only for it to be pulled back by someone. "Well hello there." The person smiled from the small gap between them.

"Hey, you like Shakespeare too?" She returned the smile but it faded when he disappeared. That didn't last long. She turned around when a sharp gasp escaped from her mouth.

"I thought this may be a better way to communicate. You know, face to face." He grinned, "to answer your question. I only like Romeo and Juliet. There just seems to be something about it." He sighed.

"I love it too, It's the reason as to why I'm with my boyfriend in fact." She chuckled, the memory resurfacing.

"You know what's crazy? This Romeo dude is in love with Juliet."

"That is the whole point of the plot.."

"He's very relatable. Because I like Juliette too."

"Shame she's fictional, huh?"

"She can't be fictional if she's sat beside me, silly girl."

His eyes dimmed a little at the mention of Armani, Juliette took in his features, they were sharp with grey eyes. His black hair was curly and slightly longer. He had a slight olive tone to his skin. All in all, he was attractive. But he isn't Armani.

"I'm Cameron by the way." Interrupting her thoughts

"J-Juliette." She stuttered, realising how long she was examining his face.

"It was nice to meet you Juliette." He winked before leaving. Reality overcame Juliette as she realised that she had a particular book in her hand.

He slipped 'Romeo and Juliet' within her grasp without her realising.
