| head to my bookcase to pick a couple of books to read while I'm home, but Silas stopsand says, "Why don't

we pass by the bookstore instead? You can leave those here and read them when we're back."

My heart warms at his words and I'm instantly reminded by Everest who used to make fun of my love for books.

"You're perfect," t," | mumble, wrapping my arms around his torso as | stand on my tiptoes and kiss his cheek.

After leaving our stuff in his car, Silas takesto the bookstore, and he doesn't gettwo books only. He ends

up buyingsix books, bookmarks, and tabs.

"The special edition is coming next month, right?" he asks, making my heart swell.

"Yes, would you like to pay for it in advance and have it reserved for you?" the cashier offers, and he agrees.

"Silas, we don't have to get it now. You've already boughtso much," | tell him, but | guess he's not having it,

because he hands the cashier his credit card and tells her to reserve a copy.

"lI want to pamper

"You've already pampered me." | giggle as | point towards all the things he has bought me.

As we walk out of the bookstore, my phone screen lights up with a new notification. | gulp as | take a look at it

"Another text from that unknown number?" | nod at Silas's question and frantically look around. | can't see

anything abnormal in the street. My breathing quickens as | look around. Am | about to have a panic attack?

"Rosie, deep breaths, cupcake," Silas says as he brings himself in front ofand places both of his hands on my

shoulders. "Breathe like me, yeah?" | slowly nod and try to do the same.

The wind is strong and although | now get cold easily, | can feel my body burning up out of pure anxiety. I'm

trying to blur out my surroundings and focus on Silas's voice, but it's hard. It's hard to do that when | know I'm

being watched.

"Nobody is going to hurt you, Rosie. That's a promise," Silas whispers, closing the space between us. | close my

eyes as t place my head on his chest and take a shaky breath. | know that Silas is not the one to break promises,

may be the first one he breaks. I'm aware that if this happens, it will be out of his hands.
