chapter four - Peter Pan
"She's Red", the kid said quietly, pointing at the picture of Little Red Riding Hood, and Rose came to wonder who Tommy would be in this book.
Rose wanted to ask the kid who Tommy was, but before she could, a woman called his name and he excused himself. The woman and the boy walked out of the diner and Rose was left sitting in the table alone.
"Now, now, how's a pretty girl like you sitting all alone?" Tommy asked and leaned on the bench of the stool Rose was sitting in. She laughed and looked at her cold coffee.
"I missed my bus", she said and Tommy sat down.
"Well that's a good thing, for I would've missed you", he said with a smirk. Rose shook her head in disbelief of his cockiness.
"Who are you?" Rose asked him. "In his book."
Tommy smiled and leaned back. "Peter Pan." Rose gave a laugh.
"You seem so familiar", he said, now leaning in.
"How so?" she asked. He showed her a drawn picture in his notebook. It was of her. But she wasn't wearing her own clothes, rather strange clothes actually. A dark cloak over a peasant dress.
"That's does look like me", she said, surprised.
"It's from Henry's book", he said and leaned back, leaving the picture for Rose. "Her name is Y/N Y/LN."
