If these were all he had... then it wasn't for sale, at least. What that meant was a mystery. It could be destroyed. It could be forgotten. It could be being kept as a prized treasure. He could have already sold it.
This was so stupid. She shouldn't have even come in.
And he kept acting so nice and friendly and it made her want to throttle him. How dare he be anything but an absolute monster.
She didn't even know how to lead into asking about her book in particular with absolutely giving away who she was. How would she even know he had it? Couldn't it just be enough, knowing it was still out of her reach?
"In this case, I don't think a name would be of any help," she said finally. "It was simply 'Storytime,' and as I'm sure you know, there are any number of collections with that sort of title." She drummed her fingers on her own crossed arm, irritated. Where was that sadistic fucker? She hated this pretentious act. She hated have to act polite right back, as if she didn't know exactly what he was. "My hobby hunts aside, I'm sure the library can make use of some of what you have here," she said, gesturing towards the shelf. And it was true. She'd hate to leave without that copy of The Hobbit, in particular. She'd buy it for herself, but anything that used to belong to him would probably bring her absolutely no pleasure to read.
