Things had been going remarkably well that morning, and that was enough of a sign to convince Ridley the rest of the day wouldn't be terrible in comparison. After sharing some of her cereal milk with her curious dreamhare, the scholar set off for Amy's with her arms full and a spring in her step. The sun was high, soon to rise even higher, and the air was brisk but not unpleasantly so. Today would be a good day, she knew.
At half past ten, she set up shop within the library wing of Lux & Livre, spreading out tins of sweet cookies and napkins, arranging her small pile of books at the center of the table. She could hardly imagine what the turnout would be, but as she perched upon her chair, glasses pushed far up her nose as she skimmed her notes without needing to -- after all, one read was enough to remember it all -- there was no shaking the feeling that no matter the number, interest was interest.
By the time shy heads popped into the wing and most of the seats around the circular table were occupied, Ridley was long ready to begin. Five minutes after eleven, she stood, waiting until all (or most) eyes were on her before starting with a soft indoor voice.
"Good morning, everyone. Thank you for coming."
And thus, it began.
