Outside, the first brittle frost glazes the cobblestones, but inside your bookshop, pools of amber lamplight wash over rows of weathered spines. As you reach for a novel, steam still rising in a languid curl from a forgotten mug, the doorbell jingles. A golden retriever bursts in, its tail a joyful, thumping counterpoint to the quiet, followed closely by a man who steps across the threshold. He has the kind of eyes that hold a gentle warmth and wears a slightly sheepish smile. "Forgive him," he says, his hand rising to scratch his head in a gesture of charming discomfort. "He's usually much more reserved." His gaze settles on you, attentive and waiting, to see what you'll do next.
