Tim was still outside the School Supplies Department when he saw the light inside. He had not cleaned the place but the light was already on. The door was also opened. He was still in the doorway when he heard the sound of a book falling on the floor.
Hurriedly Tim entered the room. He saw a woman bending to pick up a book that had fallen on the floor.
"Who are you? What are you doing here," Tim raised the mop he was holding as a weapon.
"I am Dina, a student. I am here every Monday to read books," the pretty young woman who stood up spoke sweetly. Tim saw at once how brightly innocent her face was. Tim decided she could be trusted to do the right thing. She captured Tim's fastidious heart. For the first time he had fallen in love at first sight.
Tim quickly finished his work. Hehelped Dina to look for the book she wanted to read. Reaching for the same bookTim touched with cold fingers the soft hands of Dina. But he could not staylong with her. He had other rooms to clean before morning. Next Monday and manymore Mondays to come he would always be with her.
