Penny's Point of View

Looking back Penny was sure that it was fate that brought her to that small bookstore tucked between the shoe store and the comic book shop. During a trip to procure a pair of black wedges her eye caught her favorite book in first edition. Years ago she would have simply walked away knowing full well that she would never be able to afford such a treasure but with a couple feature films and a regular part on a sitcom she was certain she would leave with a new book.

The shop owner was a sweet looking elderly woman who greeted the starlet encouraging her to browse the shop for a few minutes while she left for a cup of tea. Penny was more than happy to browse, and soon had a small stack of books in her arms. She was just about to return to the register when a rather large book caught her eye; the book was worn and faded around the edges, it had to be at least two thousand pages long, but it was the cover that made her add it to the pile. Under a shade tree in what could have been only classified as antebellum Texas was a man in his late twenties, his face held a smile. His left hand was extended towards Penny with a dozen white lilies. Penny found that the lack of title endeared the book to her more. By the time Penny left the shop she had 6 new books the first edition of Frankenstein, the mysterious book, she had also been roped into coming back once a week to handle some small inventory for the owner.

Sheldon's Point of View

It had been years since anyone had picked up his book and Sheldon found that he was happier than he had been in years. He was sick of having to fall in love with people who didn't care about him. His last owner had promised that she would visit often but after a year she had sold him to an antique book store. I guess that's what I get for giving my heart away too easily, he mused. At least he still had his work, while it was at a standstill he was content with the progress he had made during his hundred years of existence.

Suddenly he felt new eyes on his spine, hoping his lack of title would deter the stranger he was disappointed when he felt himself being picked.

Great, maybe she won't like lilies or the south, he thought as he extended the bouquet to the stranger. She had pretty eyes, he caught his traitorous heart catching as she smiled and carried him to the register.

Here we go again.

Please review and let me know what you think I am hoping to have another chapter up in the next couple of days.
