valentina's POV: today has been great so far. i got hang out with my friends, even though i had to work.
i decide to go on my daily walk a bit later than usual today, so it was relaxing. i look at my surroundings, trying to point out who is who and what they're doing. i pass many lawns with flowers from isabela in them and i see a lot of animals by the woods. i near the library when i realize that i haven't spoken to Mr. Diego in a while.
i should check up on him... i think as i get closer to the shop.
as i get closer and closer, i notice that Camilo is inside along with a pile of books. i didn't know he liked to read... i think as i try to focus on him. one of the books from the stack falls, but receives no reaction from camilo. it seemed to turn a couple others towards me. i squint, trying to get a better look at the covers and words, then gasp. they were books i was all too familiar with, books a close friend of mine would rant about on end. The only thing that could truly hold her interest. and he was reading them... for her? i didn't have any proof behind it, but that's what it damn sure looked like. i felt... hurt, to say the least.
was i not enough for him? i think as i stand, staring through the window. no, he wouldn't have said yes. Then why'd she set us up? does she not know? Jeez, i start once i realize what's going on, she's really nice, huh. getting a guy with interest in her to go out with me. i don't deserve him, she does... i think while i start spiraling. she had done so much for me, but i don't want a relationship if it's not completely true..
i hadn't even noticed that there were tears welling in my eyes when i made my final decision, not until i saw it in the reflection of the window. taking a deep breath in, i wipe my eyes and check for any evidence of crying on my face. all clear... i think as i take a deep breath in.
before i can decide against it, i walk into the building abruptly, yet quietly. luckily for me, camilo was too deep in the reading go notice.
"she's really something, huh?" i say, gathering his attention.
he stays silent, just looking at me with confusion. no, more sorrow and melancholy. all he gets in return is a smile.
"she used to try and get me to read these, they're some of her favorites. i had always said no, i didn't want to be seen as as nerd. but in secret, i would sneak over to the library and read them while the others weren't looking. may i?" i ask, gesturing to the book he was reading. he nods in question, sort of gratefully as i take the book and shift it a bit so i can read it. i flip to a page that had a white hyacinth on it.
