Eliza practically skipped into the bookstore, the bell above the door jingling merrily. She needed to find a gift for Mark, something special to celebrate their anniversary. But more than that, she felt a powerful, fizzy feeling bubbling inside her. She’d discovered Mark's novel last night – a fictionalized account of their relationship, complete with his surprisingly skilled prose.

She spotted the "Romance" section and her heart gave a little leap. She could relate to the feelings expressed in the novel, her own emotions mirroring the characters. She smiled, picturing Mark's reaction when she revealed her secret knowledge.

She didn't know what to buy him. She felt so connected to him. Her cheeks were warm, and her hands were fidgety as she considered different titles, each one a potential extension of their shared world, now revealed in such intimate detail.
