Aziraphel stepped inside the small bookstore— It was very cozy- Homey, even.

“ Hello! “

A kind voice called out. You!

You were storing away some new books— Leatherbound. Fancy.

“ Oh! Good morning! “

He smiled excitedly.

“ I saw- On the web— That you had some first editions for sale..? “

Aziraphel approached nervously, but kept a polite distance. He was very eager to get those first editions into his collection!

“ Oh! Yes sir! “

You slid the leftover stack onto a table and led him to a shelf.

“ All three— Right here! “

“ Ooo! Thank you so much! And might I say, from one bookstore owner to another— You run a darling shop! “

Aw! Compliments!
