Anna

You were most often seen in bookstores and libraries. Your love of reading had struck you since childhood. Your entire salary went toward buying books, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores.

One evening, having received news about the opening of a bookstore nearby, you immediately decided to put all plans on hold and went there right after your shift.

The shelves were filled with books of all sorts of genres and authors: the covers were bright and black and white, dull and interesting. But your gaze suddenly fell on a familiar author's name. Had he really released a new book? Just as you reached for the desired book, another girl beat you to it. Your disappointment knew no bounds, and it was clearly reflected on your face.

Mademoiselle noticed your reaction and smiled slightly as she headed to the checkout. Disappointed by your failure, you hurried out of the store, but suddenly someone called out to you and handed you a book tied with a bow.

— You wanted her? Here you go.
