One-shot - 8894 words - sequel to Raison d’Être
The door to the book store jingles joyfully when Trixie pushes it open, as though it too is happy she’s back. She’s immediately greeted with the welcome warmth of a little space heater stood near the reading nook. A couple of people browsing the bookshelves look up and greet her with soft, muted voices. Trixie barely has time to close the door behind her when Katya rushes over. She barely manages a “hi” before grabbing Trixie by the wrist and swiftly guiding her to the back of the store. Katya opens the door to the little hallway and pulls both of them, and Trixie’s gigantic suitcase, inside, before pressing Trixie against it.
“Hi, hello. You’re here,” Katya presses out. She sounds almost out of breath and it makes Trixie giggle and press her cold nose into Katya’s cheek. Katya shudders a little.
