Nodding as Penelope told him she'd be a few minutes, Terence allowed himself to browse through some of the shelves. He read the backs of books, amazed at how many titles managed to catch his attention just based on their summaries. When Penelope reappeared, he mentioned, "I could probably spend all day in there," reaching for her hand as they stepped outside.
"How's your day been?" he asked, genuinely interested but also hoping that the shop hadn't had any other unusual incidents.
