SAM

I let my eyes wander around when Phoenix ushers me outside the car. This place is an old books store which is renovated into a big and modern one. Many well-known authors used this venue for book signing events.

A woman around my age approaches us wearing a bright smile on her face. /"Mr. Williams, Ms. Anderson, good evening! Please, follow me./"

I am surprised to hear my name, and I grin at her in return.

I feel Phoenix’s hand gripping my waist. /"Let’s get inside, beautiful./"

/"What are we doing here, Phoenix?/" I whisper

/"Thought you love surprises,/" he responses with a smirk.

/"Did you happen to buy this bookstore too?/"

He chuckles as we both walk inside the store. I stop midway when I notice who’s talking to the woman who approached us outside the store. My hands fly to my mouth instantly.

/"Omigod!/" A squeak left my mouth, and I don’t even recognize my own voice.
