A simple story about Kay,an eclectic girl with all the beauty and sweetness and a guy who seems to fall for her. Their eyes locked and she had him grounded since the first second he saw her, in his bookstore. Yes, the simple yet charming guy, named Darren owns a bookstore and she is quite a regular customer.
A conversation over the book she ordered actually started what we think as a start of a romantic journey. While Kay is cooking a master plan on Darren in her own mind. Kay does everything she could to research on Darren’s background and she discovers so many interesting things about Darren from google. She also learns more to his personality from their enjoyable times together.
