Between The Pages

Emma has always believed love stories belong in books-not in real life. She's too focused on her dream of finishing her first novel to entertain distractions. But when Jake, a regular customer, begins leaving behind intricate sketches of scenes from her favorite books, she starts to take notice.

At first, their interactions are fleeting-an exchanged book recommendation, a casual remark about the crisp autumn air. But as the weeks pass, their conversations grow deeper, filled with shared silences and stolen glances across the dimly lit store.

With every handwritten note Jake leaves tucked inside books and every autumn evening they spend in the bookstore's cozy reading nook, Emma starts to wonder: Maybe love isn't just something found between the pages-it's something waiting to be written in real life, too.
