Chapter Ten:
Juliet Woolfe lifted her head up from the desk and glanced up. She saw Mush there above her, his hand on her shoulder.
"Did you have a nice nap?" he asked smirking at her.
"Oh. Yeah. I had the strangest dream though…" She saw the old copy of Romeo and Juliet, and a reminiscent look overtook her features. Standing up, she picked the book up and walked over to the front desk with Mush at her heels. She placed the torn copy of her favourite book behind the desk.
"Reading on the job again?" he asked as they made their way towards the exit.
"Yes. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The most romantic story I've ever come across. But you wouldn't know anything about romance, would you Mush?"
"Oh?" he paused, and thought for a second. "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite…. But I guess I wouldn't know that, since I'm not romantic." Juliet stared at Mush in disbelief.
"How? How did you know that?" Mush shrugged, with a smile.
"Well," he started reaching into his pocket. "I read this," he pulled out a small leather bound copy of Romeo and Juliet and handed it to her. "For my Juliet," she gave him a kiss.
"Thank you. This is the nicest thing anyone's ever given me!" He nodded.
"Well just think; it's a good thing none of the newsies are like the families in the play." Juliet smiled inwardly.
"A very good thing." She sighed. "But I'm sure we'd find a way."

In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes
And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
Fin.
