“ BE CAREFUL WITH THAT. ” simone appears from the back office of her bookstore, shooting the patron very suspicious eyes over her desk. customer is always right or not, she waits until the book on display is out of their grubby hands before continuing. “ that book isn’t to be touched. it’s older than you are—older than your great-grandparents, probably. is there something i can help you with ? ”
simone’s voice shouldn’t startle them, but it does. it had been a while since sasha had stopped in. since turning, sasha spent very little time in brooklyn altogether, let alone in durand books. seeing it all again was bringing back a rush of emotions. touching the book was like sending an electric charge into sasha’s chest. it is a connection to who they really are. or were. it all ends in a millisecond when simone’s voice comes out firmly, and meeting sasha head on. vampire hearing made it the lift in their own heart beat obvious. licking lips, sasha contemplates if they should have turned their feelings off altogether before coming here, but they knew it wasn’t what simone would want. ‘ hey - ’ is the greeting of guilt offered to simone. ‘ i - sorry. i couldn’t help myself. ’
