Sleep eluded me tonight. Something was going on outside and that feeling made me open my eyes and walk downstairs toward the bookstore.
No one was aware at this god-awful time, and my instincts told me to go back to sleep. But for some reason, I did not feel like going back to sleep. Something told me that I needed to be down here for something.
Knock.
Someone knocked at the door in the middle of the night, and I immediately headed toward the door to open it before realizing… just how late it was. No one was supposed to come to the bookstore this late at night.
"Shopkeeper, please open the door. I went home to get something and now I am locked out. I need to get inside."
Leo's voice called out to me from the other side, but I knew for a fact that it could not be Leo. He and his sister were currently asleep upstairs in one of the spare bedrooms. Whosoever this was, they were using Leo's voice to trick me.
