Remember Me?

1

Running out of books to read is absolutely the worst thing that can happen to a book lover. Evie Frye thought this as she closed another book and looked up at her twin Jacob who even though was only four minutes younger acted as if there were four years between them.

"Jacob?"
"Yes, sweet sister." Turning his gaze from his gauntlet to his twin.
"If father asks where I'm gone, say I'm going to the library."
"Sure." He said, turning back to the gauntlet.

Evie loved the smell of old books. She didn't know why. She just did. There were books that were so powerful they could capture anyone. "Even Jacob." Evie thought and then had to stifle a giggle at the thought of it.

While picking out a book on a shelf that was thankfully at her eye level.
"Mind if I just get that love." A young man about hers and Jacobs age reached up to grab a book off a couple of shelves higher.
"Of course yes." Evie whispered back trying not to cause any noise. Then she got a proper look at him. He was absolutely stunning. He had messy hair the colour of crow feathers, an extremely chiseled jaw with mesmerising grey eyes. He looked like some sort of Greek god.

"Thanks love." He said again. Usually Evie would get mad at anyone who called her love, sweetheart or darling. Why wasn't she like this around him. "Oh. I like your freckles." He stated.
"Thanks you. Not many people say that."
"Well I like them. I'm Jack White. Just if you wanted a piece of useful information. "
"Evie Frye."
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
"Are you always such a charmer."
"It's in my blood. Want to go somewhere better to talk."
"Like where?"

"The town square is your idea for a quieter place to talk."
"It's said better love. Not quieter?"
"Alright. You got me there. Now tell me more about yourself."
"OK. Well my full name is Jackson edward White, everyone calls me Jack, I'm sixteen years old. My father is a banker while my mother wants me to study painting. He wants me to be like him and I am an only child. What about you love?"
"My full name is Evelyn Rose Frye most people call me Evie or Ev as my brother calls me. I am also sixteen. I have a twin brother Jacob no other siblings. And my father is the schoolmaster."
"Shit. I'm going to be late home."
"Here, I'll walk you home."
"Thank you. But there is really no need."
"I insist."
"If you must."

"What about your mother?"
"Sorry?"
"You didn't tell me anything about your mother."
"Well. The thing is my mother. She died during childbirth."
"Oh I'm sorry love."
"Well here I am. It was nice to meet you Jack."
"Do you need any help with your books."
"No thanks I got it."
