They enter the store and Deianira feels like she's stepped into paradise. The store is vast, with towering bookshelves in every direction. The smell of books and coffee fills the air, making her heart flutter. Percy follows her as she practically skips down the rows of books, her eyes greedily scanning the titles and covers.
"I'm gonna cry." Deianira puts her hands over her mouth.
Percy chuckles beside her, his hand still in hers. "Please don't cry." he says, "then they'll kick us out." But he's clearly amused by her reaction, his eyes dancing with laughter.
Deianira squeals and turns to him, almost tackling him in a hug. Then, she's gone in a flash, down the aisles.
Percy laughs out loud, his eyes fond as he watches her scamper away. He follows her at a slower pace, watching as she grabs books off the shelf, flipping through the pages, her expression one of pure joy.
Deianira grabs book after book, losing herself in the sea of words. She's in her element, happy and excited. Percy leans against a shelf, watching her, smiling. He's clearly enjoying her enthusiasm, even as she nearly knocks over a display with her excitement.
After what seems like hours, Deianira's arms are full of books, and she still hasn't explored even half of the store. She looks over at Percy, who's casually leaning against a bookcase, his arms crossed. "I want all of these," she states vehemently, her eyes wide.
Percy laughs. "All of them?" he teases, raising an eyebrow at her overflowing arms.
Deianira nods, her expression serious. "Yes, all of them."
Percy laughs again, shaking his head. "You are unreal." he says, but there's respect in his eyes. "I thought you were dyslexic?"
"It's just part of the experience." she grins.
Percy rolls his eyes but there's a fond smile on his face. "Alright, birthday girl."
Deianira grins, feeling like she's in heaven. She knows she can't realistically buy all the books, but the very fact that she can browse, and touch, and read as many as she wants is magical. She approaches Percy, holding up a couple of her favorites. "Look at these!"
