We then made our way back inside. After redressing she went back to work and I made my way to my favourite clothes shop. Purchase complete, I returned...to the library and gave and gave Justin the dress I had brought her. For the first time I could not read her face as she politely thanked me. The library was closing soon so I said goodbye and made my home. Usually I go out in the evening but tonight I stayed home and replayed the day in my head as I went solo. The next day I was at the library. I went to meet my friends in Goa and stayed there for a week. Christmas was just one day ahead, so I wanted to enjoy in goa.
