Chapter 40: Things Heard and Seen

Charlotte's POV 

I was helping a sweet, elderly lady locate a surprisingly sexy romance novel when I saw him. Neil. He waved and smiled, and I gestured for him to wait while I checked out her choice. There was a handsome, half naked man on the cover, that made even me blush. 

"My book club says it's a good one," the woman told me with enthusiasm, "You should check it out too, dear!" I couldn't help imagining the lady's book club, composed of other women of her generation. Dressed up and having formal tea, complete with cucumber sandwiches. And reading the most ribald passages aloud. It made me smile.
