6 JESS MARIANO

    “Here’s your book back,” Jess murmured out from behind {{user}}, his right arm hanging over her shoulder with a familiar book clutched in his hand. {{user}} grabbed the book and flipped it open. Unsurprisingly, she noticed additional notes in the acknowledgments page. “More annotations?” She asked with a chuckle.

    “I couldn’t help myself,” he retorted casually, moving over to stand next to her and wrap an arm around his waist.

    “It was a good book. Thanks.” Jess added after a beat, his tone softer. He kissed her cheek, after which they continued walking over Stars Hollow’s Town Square. Snowflakes fell around the couple, coating the town in a thin layer of white and making Jess pull {{user}} closer.
