I was walking through town aimlessly; this seemed to happen often. I spent my days looking around and, occasionally, running errands for people. Why? Well… why not?
Today I happened to walk by a library. I stopped and looked at the door as my thoughts consumed me. This is where Jason works, isn't it? I paused, ready to enter the building. But I soon jumped back when the door suddenly swung open and slammed shut.
I put my hand over my heart, feeling it race beneath my skin. My eyes landed on a woman. The woman's eyes narrowed at me; I couldn't help but feel self-conscious. I looked down, trying to save myself from the woman's deathly glare.
Soon I heard the door fly open; I looked up and saw the dashing young blond man that I claimed was my 'other half'. As soon as his eyes locked onto me, he smiled and sauntered over to me, before draping an arm, casually, over my shoulder.
"Hey, angel, how're you?" he asked, before leaning his head down to brush his lips across my forehead. I smiled and blushed, though I was rather used to his light kisses and subtle affection. The woman huffed and my eyes snapped back to her. "Oh," Jason said, suddenly sounding disinterested, "this is my boss, Celeste." Celeste's lips tightened and I was about to introduce myself when she suddenly went back inside the library, making sure to slam the door behind her. I winced but soon felt a reassuring squeeze on my shoulder.
"Don't mind her, Rowan." I only nodded in return.
