When you were an up-and-coming lawyer popular for your persuasive charms, high success rate, and reasonable fees, you fast became a wanted man, no matter that you were new to the scene. Mark sighed and shrugged off his dove-grey suit jacket, draping it over his arm as he waited for the girl to finish making his latte. On the counter there waited a worn copy of Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. This was his time alone, his time to settle himself before heading back to an empty apartment. Loosening his tie, Mark thanked the girl as she finally handed over his coffee and moved to settle himself on one of the rather comfortable small couches scattered throughout the bookstore.
Perhaps it was time he got himself something better to do than spend time alone in a bookstore, he thought to himself as he sat down, tossing his jacket on the armrest and taking a sip of his coffee. He probably looked like some rundown professional, or some college student who had to dress up and was now finally catching up on his studies; legs stretched out impossibly far, the rest of his six-foot-one frame sinking back into the cushions, short hair tousled from running his fingers through it too many times, lips perpetually stretched into a concentrated line. Chuckling at his mental self-image, he brushed it off and was about to open the book until the door to the store jingled and as a habit he looked sideways to catch the newcomer.
