There was indeed only one book on the shelf.
Bertie immediately cto his senses. "No, no, no," his calm expression turned into a smile. "I don't need this book."
However, for sreason, he felt a peculiar sense of familiarity with this young girl, a feeling that was quite marvelous, one that
made him want to get closer.
So he asked, "Miss, do you have stright now?"

"I have a boyfriend," Monica stated bluntly. "You're not trying to introduce your son to me, are you? My boyfriend and | are about to
get married!" There was no complete relaxation in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Bertie chuckled. What was this young girl thinking?
