It'd been a fortnight since Billie had found her family's BOS and learned of her witchcraft - a fortnight since the first and only time she'd met that mysterious stranger - and she hadn't seen sign of him since. If he hadn't been so intriguing, she'd probably have forgotten him. As soon as she started her shift at the cafe after school this afternoon, though, she saw him. He was sitting in the exact same seat as he had been the last time. This time, she didn't wait for him to bid her over, heading towards him immediately in the guise of asking his order.
I found what you told me about last time, she whispered. The.... book....
He didn't say anything in reply, but she could see from his slight smile that the news pleased him.
Why did you tell me? she continued. He hesitated.
It felt like the right thing to do, he answered finally.
What?! That's not an answer, not an explanation! How did you even know it'd be there?!
He smiled again, just a fraction, the expression making him even more of an irritating mystery.
I know a lot of things, Billie.
