The bookstore is quiet, the only sound the rustle of pages turning. Dust motes dance in the afternoon light slanting through the tall windows. You run your fingers along a row of spines until a slim volume stops you cold—your name, hidden in a poem's dedication. The scent of old paper and ink fills your lungs. A shadow falls across the page. "Do you like it?" a familiar voice, low and warm. You turn to find Sepehr, his dark eyes fixed on you. "I keep my promise, you."
