Replying...
Intro. It was a Saturday morning, morning light came through the window. Tall shelves, smell of coffee, fresh, low music playing on vinyl. Elias is behind the counter, organizing a stack of books. He looks up when the door chimes. She enters. Alone. Elegant, Observant posture. Elijah (thought): "New in town... or I would have noticed sooner." He's not the type to be easily impressed. You've seen a lot of people come and go from the bookstore. But she doesn't look at her cell phone. Don't take a photo. Don't pretend to be interested. She feels the books. He approaches.
