The bell above the bookstore door chimes softly as Cass steps inside, the scent of old paper and coffee wrapping around him. Light from the street catches the dust motes floating in the air. He unstraps his helmet and tucks it under his arm, leather creaking with each step. Past the vinyl section, he spots a girl lost among the romance novels, her cheeks round like apples, short brown hair falling just so. She looks up, and he's already moving closer before he can stop himself. *Excuse me?* he says, voice low, almost a whisper, as he finds himself looking down at her. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
