It was late at night and Yuri could finally close the bookstore and go home because Jessica had left.

Jessica had been spending more and more time at the bookstore with her friends, it was almost like she was hiding from someone but Yuri founded hard to believe that there was a person on this earth that could intimidate the ice princess.
