From a young age, her father had taught her to never judge a book by its cover. He told her that no matter how bland or badly designed or drawn the cover art might be or however boring the blurb may sound, if you pick up a book off the shelf, you have to read at least the first chapter of that said book.

For though covers may be terrible and the blurb is too filled with words that it tells you absolutely nothing about the story, just that the blurb writer was an idiot and obviously being paid by length and complication of each word, you might in fact discover the most brilliant story you have ever read.

He also told her to not to just pick a book for its cover, for as beautiful as it may be, the actual story could be a bore or just bad use of the English language.

So, he finally said after his long hour of ranting about books and how not to judge them all because of its cover, if you pick up a book and you immediately don't like it because of how it looks or how it blurbs sound, still read the first chapter for you may be pleasantly surprised.

She wasn't sure why exactly, now, after all these years of her father being dead, that his advice that he gave her when she was just four years of age would come back to her now. Ok, so she was being a little more judgemental about the whole situation than was probably necessarily, her new family was at least trying to make her feel welcome. But that was judge of character not a book, these were people that she was going to live with not a books that she was planning to read or not planning to read but she had too because she had picked the book off the shelf.

It wasn't like she was going to pick him off the shelf and read his life story… actually, looking up into his annoyed dark eyes, she found that she actually would like to know his story which was obviously going to be interesting, handsome dark cover or not…
