    Summary

    But it’s not the golden lettering of Libreria, or the promise of all and more written right underneath, or the sun and the moon and the stars, that intrigues him. There's a man sitting inside the shop, almost hidden by the colorful clutter, hunched over an open book with his head propped on one hand and a look of deep concentration on his face.

    If it weren't for the occasional twitch of his lips, Joe would think him a statue. Joe already thinks him a hallucination as it is.

    or; I was inspired by this beautiful artwork of Libraio Nicky by linaxart and had to write something.

    Summary

    He doesn't remember painting the trees off to one side or the man sitting in one of the chairs, but this isn't the first time his mind has glossed over painting some details. Joe hopes the man is enjoying the view.

    For a second, Joe aches to be sitting in the other chair, watching the waves roll in as the sun sets. He wonders if the man in the painting would be happy to see him. Maybe they would sit by the water and talk about their days. He wonders what the man's face looks like. If he paints himself in the other chair, will he know the answers to that question?

    Summary

    “Andromache! Didn’t expect to see you back so soon after last week - or ever, really.” A lazy smile plays at the corner of her lips. Quỳnh thanks every ancestor, rest their crotchety souls, that she had the foresight to paint her lips with her boldest blood-red this morning. “Back for another bowl of chè?”
    Quỳnh sees the way the woman in front of her straightens, the way her jaw clenches, the way she juts out her chin as if ready for a fight. Good. Quỳnh likes them with a backbone.
    “Of course. The chè here is really good.”
    --
    In which Quỳnh owns a dessert shop in Tam Cốc selling chè to tourists and Andromache is one such tourist. Who visits. Every weekend.
