We’d gotten off the bus at a mall I’d never been to. It wasn’t one of the ones with any major chains or stores in it, but it wasn’t small enough to deserve the label of ‘strip mall’ either.
Huh, so a decent-sized mall made out of small shops. Sounds nice.
There were more people milling around than I thought there might be, given that it was still mid afternoon; high school students and nine to five employees wouldn’t be out yet. I realized there were more than a few people in their late teens or early twenties with backpacks and bags. College students.
I guess this might be on or next to campus, possibly for the same college Brian takes online classes from.
“Next bus going by my place should come in half an hour, but we can stay longer, if you want,” Brian told me.
“What did you want to get?” I asked him.
“Bus tickets and some stuff for breakfast. This is the closest spot to my apartment that has both.”
Nice.
“Okay.”
“You need anything?”
“Toothbrush, toothpaste, and I was thinking about grabbing a book.”
Sounds like a good idea.
Hm, I don’t remember if Triumvirate was a school book or something Taylor was reading on the side simply out of interest. Either way, this made me think of that book.
“Don’t worry about the toothbrush or toothpaste, I have extra stuff set aside for Aisha when she comes, and replacing that before then is easy.
Ah, nice.
Want to go to the bookstore, and I’ll meet you there when I’ve got what I need?”
“Sure.”
Some time to herself… will she be able to pick a book, or will she be too distracted by thoughts of a certain favor? 😉
