บท 202: A Date After Class (5)

The quiet place that Edward found ended up to be a small and quaint bookstore that also sold aromatic drip coffee. While he did plan to bring Scarlet out for a shopping trip after playing at the arcade, he wasn't quite expecting the girl to choose such a place. They ventured the less crowded areas of the city and stumbled upon this old gem that Scarlet immediately fell in love with.

The lady of the bookstore had cataracts and seeing difficulties. However, she still welcomed the couple, more than happy to have customers.

"How can I help you?" she asked and ushered them to a seat.

The bookstore was rather tiny because of how many books there were cluttered in the small shop. There wasn't even a menu to offer, just an option of coffee with milk or sugar or tea. Edward wondered how such a place was able to sustain until now and the old lady hobbled back with the order of two black coffees.

"Scarlet, are you feeling better now?" he asked.
