The venue was set on the third floor of The Book Nook. Even before the event officially opened, a large crowd of
eager readers had already gathered outside. A team of about a dozen security guards worked in unison to
maintain order. Near the entrance, a large display stood prominently, neatly stacked with copies of Madge's new
book, Seven Days. Additionally, there was a life-sized standee showcasing the book's cover alongside several
key characters in cartoon form.
"Wow are there really this many people?" a young woman exclaimed as she stepped inside, visibly taken aback.
Her boyfriend followed closely behind, letting out a frustrated sigh. "It's just a book signing, right? Why does it
feel like we're at a rock star's fan meet?" The girl was a die-hard fan of celebrities, that is, with a rotating roster
of pop idols she adored. Despite years of following stars, she'd never been this excited about a . That
changed last week when she caught her dad engrossed in a rather eerie-looking mystery .
Her phone busted that day, making her bored as hell till they fixed it after lunch. Out of sheer boredom, she

She didn't even glance at her phone when it was finally repaired. She stayed up all night to finish the book and

her boyfriend: "Is the author a hermit or what?! How can they not have any social media?"
Driven by curiosity about the mind behind such a captivating story, she delved into the author's other mystery
. She had low expectations, considering they were a decade old and assumed they would be cliché and
poorly written. But she was wrong-hopelessly hooked again!
In a week, she devoured all of Madge's except for one that was as unappealing as stale bread. The rest,
especially the decade-old mysteries, were not only timeless but offered a gritty reflection on society's
underbelly, something that would be controversial if published today. Those books blew her mind, showing all
this crazy deep and colorful stuff about people she'd never even thought about.
When she heard about the book signing clashing with a meet-and-greet for one of her current idols, she was
torn. After two days of deliberation, she chose the signing. Yet, as they approached The Book Nook, regret

They planned to peek in and then dash off to the pop idol's event. But then... "Holy cow! Look at this crowd!
Hahaha-where's my fan sign? Get it out! Quick!"
"Didn't you toss it downstairs a minute ago?" he asked.
Drat!
"What are you waiting for? Go get it back, now!" she urged.
"But... weren't we just going to look and then head to Abel's meet-and-greet?"
