Chapter 2 - What Belongs To Me

“Mister Harrison!” Ellie ended up raising her voice when she heard what Harrison had said. With that, she patted his back and repeated what she had already said. “Get going! I’m never going to sell the bookshop, so leave!”

“Alright, alright, Ellie! Don’t be like this and rethink… Alright, I get it! I’ll be back tomorrow!”

“I’d rather you didn’t!” She chased Harrison out of the bookstore, released a heavy sigh, and hunched over. Her blond hair, a sweet honey color, gently fell. Ellie sighed once more, before standing straight, tying her fallen hair with a string.

“That man, goodness…Sometimes he says the most ridiculous things,” Ellie mumbled to herself, her cheeks flushing as red as a crimson apple. “W-Who the heck fell in love with who…”

Her shoulders dropped as she thought about her regular customer who dropped in almost daily. She forbade any misunderstandings as she was well aware of how much of an avid reader he was.
