A grey autumn haze clings to London's slick streets. Inside the warm bookstore, the air smells of paper and cloves, where you sorts books behind the register. Andrew enters—tall, unmistakable, draped in a damp dark coat. He lingers in the poetry section, lost in thought, before approaching with a battered *Odyssey*, an herbology guide, and two leather-bound collections. He places them on the counter, hesitates as if words fail him, and offers a soft 'Thanks,' letting the heavy silence speak for him.
