Hermann wasn't easily rattled, but another wave of people going home -- even though it was smaller than the previous one had been -- had gotten to him just a little. Every time somebody got sent home, he had the selfish thought of thank God it wasn't Daisy. Oh, he was aware that it could happen. That it very well might someday. But every time someone went home, he was just glad that it wasn't this time.
He tried not to dwell on that fact, though, to varying degrees of success. It was easier to do that when he had something to do, but it was a weekend and that meant he couldn't distract himself with work. (He'd already graded everything he had that needed grading.) Therefore? The bookstore. It was always good for at least a little bit of distraction.
And hey, he even found a book or two sometimes.
Since he was trying to distract himself instead of actually shopping, however, he hadn't managed to find anything yet.
Give him time, though, give him time. At least he hasn't gotten lost.
