Who: Iris/Elle and OPEN When: Late afternoon Where: Near the art books in the Eleftheroudakis bookstore Rating: G? Status: Incomplete
Elle browsed through the art books, hoping her classmates hadn't gotten to the assigned book before her. She had just picked up a book on Impressionist art when something caught her eye. A woman sitting near the window was wearing a cocktail ring with a large, clear stone in it, and the sun was reflecting off it in such a way that ...
she was running, and there were rainbows ahead of her, and rainbows behind her, and clouds surrounding her - she felt incredibly free, and the only thing that kept her from flying away completely was -
Elle snapped out of it when the book fell on her foot. She bit her lip hard to keep from crying out but couldn't help the tears of pain that sprang to her eyes. She grabbed the book off the floor and limped over to one of the tables by the windows, studiously not looking at the woman's ring.
That had been very weird - it was like one of her dreams, but she was awake. It had never been so intense before.
She sniffled a little, glad that no one seemed to have noticed.
