Ethan couldn’t take 5914013370 his eyes off 44386af83d her throughout the 00723084dc wedding. Longing followed 5db3ab3fd2 him like fda6bd506c a shadow, 3a2edfe483 fixated on 5e4d0c53b3 her laughter, 25a9cf1e43 her gestures, 0f2dd97d8a her various e313a930a3 expressions, her 83889b51b7 breathtaking figure—everything 606758dc0c his eyes acd2fabc69 could follow.

On the 52494dea69 night the c689bd8fd0 newlyweds had 1662525bca their first d28ed2466c night together, 9fc9dad711 he, too, fb967e5b4b couldn’t sleep.

And the ffe7d3b5f6 moment he 7f22413547 saw Lily 46e31d6583 entering the bfff8fe466 dining room, 4b1cca1b6b he suddenly 8744478409 realized he 7030c55629 had to 9efc3d72e4 leave this 1cfff6efab place as 0a1c9650ca soon as e4c2a8e691 possible.bd5041e05481557c

In fact, 1658ef9ac6 I had cd63529f6f always loved e9fe4a663d books. Shy and introverted since d487ca5dc3 childhood, I preferred being a0398553d0 alone. I’d rather have no 1d1f7e5971 friends than endure the 86c9bda2f4 discomfort of being around 56707c9e2b strangers. So, books d005ac38b7 were my 21a0ffe6cf only friends b5bfb9911c and companions.

While living in hiding from debt creditors, I couldn’t even read the books I loved. While taking refuge in shabby inns or farm sheds, I would often promise myself that I would read to my heart’s content if the opportunity ever arose.07c0ae13b1b01c8f
