𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄 was simply doing her shift at Clovers Books, shelving new arrivals and straightening displays. She loved books - it was her happy place, the one corner of the world that felt calm and safe.
𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍 wandered in, looking slightly out of place. He was just there to grab a book for his friend Freya, who was too lazy to get it herself.
Browsing the shelves, he caught sight of Laura arranging a display of novels and couldn't stop watching her for a moment.
There was something about the way she moved - gentle, focused, unaware of anyone else in the store - that made him feel drawn.
He wandered over, pretending to browse, and asked her for a recommendation. She looked up, smiled softly, and started telling him about her favorite titles. Her voice was calm, kind, and entirely unassuming. She had no idea who he was, no recognition, no awe - just genuine warmth and friendliness.
He found himself asking more questions than he needed to, staying just to hear her talk. When she guided him to a few shelves and explained why she loved certain books, he realized he wasn't here for the book at all - he was here for her.
By the time he left, book in hand, he knew he'd be back tomorrow. Not because he needed another story to read, but because he wanted to see Laura Marie Rose again - the only girl who treated him like a normal person, the only girl he wanted to talk to simply to talk.
