Nika greeted Liv with a beaming smile. Dimples. Unicorns. Kittens. Joy. Holy shit. Nika felt great. There was an asinine warmth that spread throughout her core. That was a fantastic feeling. “Sweet cheese and crackers.” She didn’t even hear what was coming out of her mouth. “I’m so glad to see you.” Nika held out her hand, not thinking. “Hungry?” She grinned. “C’mon.”
The book store was arranged in pods. Their little alcove was in the travel section near the back. “I give you, Italy.” She frowned but nodded briefly. “Well, the next best thing.” Nika smiled, dark eyes alight. The section was done in cherry, which she loved. The shelves were a familiar reddish hue, filled floor to ceiling with Fodor’s where-tos and atlases, maps and guides and and. Leather chairs and loveseats cozied in among the shelves as well. Strings of tiny soft white LEDs criss-crossed the nook’s airspace and clearly were not part of the regular decor. A muted green and white checkered throw split part of the room between two oversized chairs. A wicker basket, long loved, occupied a corner of the cloth with place settings already arranged. Dinner was still packaged away, lids loose to allow the scents and odors of home to complete the sensory experience. It would help cool things a little so they could eat in a reasonable amount of time too. Liv had said she’d be hungry when she got off. Nika looked over at her date, eyes glittering. “Shall we?”
