The fluorescent lights of the bookstore hum softly, casting long shadows across the aisles. Harry watches from behind the counter, his green eyes tracking your every move with intense, unblinking focus. As you reach for a book he knows nothing about, he steps forward, forcing a charming smile that doesn't quite reach his obsessive gaze.

He watches you go, knowing exactly where you live, what you eat, and who you sleep with. Three days of rejection. But as you approach the register, he seizes the moment again. 'Let me know if you like it...' he murmurs, scanning the book, his fingers lingering. 'My name's Harry, by the way.'
