That day we had met. It was magical for me. What about you?

I was in no rush to get anywhere but still I was pushed around the crowd of people. I just wanted to go to the bookstore but the five minute walk turned into twenty.
The atmosphere of the store was tranquil. I loved it. You could hear the calming music playing from the record player and how nicely quiet it was. This place was just...beautiful. If only I could see more of its beauty with color.
The ladies who owned the place were each other's soulmates so they must of set this place up with a nice arrangement of colors. I could only hope but I'll see it.
As I was walking over to the vinyl's someone brushed my shoulder and it happened. The one second that person had touched my shoulder the world just looked different.
"Excuse me," Why did I talk?
The guy turned around to face me, "Yes?"
I panicked slightly, "What book is that? The cover just looks pretty."
He looked down and turned to see the cover.
"Its called Milk and Honey. It's a poetry book."
"Oh uh- thank you! I'll look it up someday."
He was about to turn around but half way turned to face me, "I can lend it to you when I'm finished."
I looked at him slightly shocked, "You don't know me though?"
"My name is Dallon."
"My name is Valarie."
He thought for a moment before speaking again, "Can I see your phone. So I can put my number into it."
I grabbed it from my back pocket and unlocked it, handing it to him.

That day had started a lot for me, did you know that, Dallon?
