"This is it!" Theo exclaimed to himself, a laugh bubbling up. He practically sprinted down the street, his heart soaring, towards the old bookstore. Today was the day. He was going to find Charlotte. He had the book they had read together, and he couldn't wait.

He saw her, and a surge of energy propelled him forward. "Charlotte? Charlotte Bell? It's Theo! The book club?"

Charlotte looked up, a confused expression on her face. "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are." She turned back to the shelves.

Theo felt the air rush out of him. The bookstore, which had always been a place of comfort, suddenly felt vast and isolating. He stood there for a moment, the book feeling heavy in his hand, his initial excitement replaced by a profound sense of emptiness. He closed the book and slowly walked out.
