He turned and saw her. Her smile filled the room like a gentle ray of sunshine and he forgot the stress that was crawling around him. He tried to speak but suddenly felt a pang of nervousness. He swallowed and spoke.<br/><br/>"Hello!" he said with an excited smile. He looked down and noticed the book in her hands. A wave of relief passed through him. He had been so worried that is brother might have seen it or any of Sams friends that might have stopped in to the shop. This book was his secret, the place where his mind could soar and his heart sing. For in a life of roles and duties, dreams were the love that carried him.<br/><br/>He smiled and reached out, slowly lifting the book from her. He passed it over in his hands, feeling the smooth leather in his fingers. He felt as if he had been reunited.<br/><br/>"Thank you so much, "he said to her with a soft smile and looked her in the eyes. "You have no idea how much this means to me."
