She seemed surprised by my name but I won't take it personally

"Red String Of Fate?"
She questioned as she turned the book of finding it had no blurb
I just smirked watching her face scrunch in genuine confusion
She seemed cute

"Usually, only people who are looking for the book will pick it up
They usually know what the book is about"

"Ah I see"
She finished writing in her book and put it away

And handed me my book alongside a little-handwritten receipt telling me when the book needed to be returned.

I felt a little energy when our fingertips brushed
Like a spark
As gentle as a butterfly

"I didn't catch your name?"

I finally asked whilst kicking myself for not asking when she had asked for mine.
"Oh my name is Suji "
"But my nickname is Nani"
She shyly looked down as she disclosed her pet name which rung a few bells of the past

Butterfly?

"What about your last name"
"I don't have one.."

She looked away
Sadness took over her face and her smile faded
It was evident the question was too personal
She was trying not to cry

"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't want to make you upset"
"I'm sorry"
I bowed and left quietly
cursing myself mentally

"WHY DID I DO THAT?"
THE ONE PERSON WHO SEEMED GENUINE
"WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING RIGHT?"
I HAD TO UPSET HER
