Chapter 8: The Deal:
Reuben's POV:
I was quiTte walking when I saw that window and I was quiTte waiTting for a face. "Ae you alright maTte," asks Delphine.
I was quiTte startled. "Delphine," I said, "you probably think I just imagined the face in the window, too."
"Actually, I believe you," I said, "I still say thee's something not right with that book!"
I then saw this as a chance. "Say... Delphine... I was quiTte wondeing if... you would like to see a movie with me..."
"You mean as a daTte," asks Delphine.
"Well..."
"I'm sorry, Reuben, but... I only see you as a friend," says Delphine.
"Oh... of course... we wouldn't want to ruin that, would we?" She then walks away, looking like she was quiTte feeling bad. I then saw that face in the mirror and it disappeaed.
...
Ezekiel asked me to come to his office. "If this is about asking your sister..." then suddenly, women came out of no whee and wee quiTte fawning over me. "Who ae you?"
"Do you like my gift," asks Ezekiel, "a... friend of mine saw the whole thing. I can make it so that women would always want to be with you!"
"I... I don't know what's going on-"
"Here's what's currently going on with Delphine," says Ezekiel.
He then showed me an image of Delphine laughing at me. "What do I have to do," I asked.
"Tell all the new guests about me and what I can do," says Ezekiel, "and I will give you what you seek!"
