Summary
“Do you think he’s a good person, Samira?”
There it is, the only thing left to predict before this exchange derails; there’s the sentence that makes this a conversation she can’t just brush off, can’t just step her way through with standard procedure.
“I don’t know.” The only tactic now is to be brutally truthful, so she is.
Sometimes, at the end of a long night shift, Samira goes up to the rooftop. Maybe it's for the fresh air; maybe it's because she knows she won't be the only one up there, and on the rooftop, the normal rules don't seem to apply.

Summary
“Come off it.” Xaden says curtly, but a smile tugs at the corner of his lips as he shoves himself between the two stationary figures on the grass.
“I have no idea of what you speak.” Garrick claims innocently, sending a meaningful glare at Imogen as she tries unsuccessfully to muffle her laughter by biting down on her hand. “I only wish to offer my utmost respect to the great Lord Riorson, soon to be King Consort of Poromiel–” This time, he’s too slow to evade the fist that Xaden swings into his shoulder, and he doubles over in dramatically overexaggerated pain, spurred on by the giggles erupting from Imogen’s mouth.Before the Rebellion, Imogen and Garrick were just teenagers, sixteen and seventeen, figuring out who they were to each other and on the way to really being something. Of course, life had other plans, as it often does; they never really had the chance to explore what they meant to one another until it was too late, and the versions of themselves they became were not the versions of themselves they left behind in the summer before everything changed.

Summary
It's too far out of her way and she's wasting so much money, but Lily can't help but return to the bookstore every weekend, where her passion for good literature has, perhaps, been unexpectedly reignited by the messy-haired, pun-making, rather handsome bloke who works there.
