The little bell attached to the doorframe went off a split second before Olivia stepped outside. Tucked under one arm, she had with her yet another book; a sci fi by Garth Nix. Olivia was happy with her purchase, smiling just the slightest at the thought of tucking away in a quiet little corner to read her new novel. 

The bookstore was her happy place, and she visited frequently. Not because the clerk treated her like family after years of serving her, or because she received special discounts not necessarily afforded to other customers, but she simply loved to read and would sometimes even trade the books that were collecting dust on a shelf. 

As she made her way down the sidewalk, Olivia was slightly distracted by her phone. She wasn't mindlessly scrolling through photos or videos, but she was reading a message from a friend that had moved away not just from the town, but out of the country altogether. Apparently things were going well for her despite the fact that she hadn't been gone that long. The message had taken Olivia by surprise as she hadn't heard from the girl in an extremely long time. But apparently her friend had found her e-mail address and decided to write to her after all these years.

She was nearly at the end of the message when she collided with someone, causing her to drop her book in the process.

"Oh! Sorry!"

She made sure the older gentleman was okay. He must have had quite the grip on his cane. Thankfully, he remained steady on his feet. "I'm so sorry, I should have been paying attention to where I was going."

[I]"It's quite all right young lady, we all get distracted,"[/I] he smiled, and she returned the same, wishing him well after apologizing for the third time. Olivia then picked up her book and continued on, not bothering to keep reading the message.
