Bruce's House
~ London ~
July 5th 1980
Harper King
Harper let out a breathless laugh, which echoed through the quiet house as he tried to grab her. She leaped out the door, hitting the sidewalk in her giant stride before practically having to skid to a stop at his car in order to avoid slamming into it. The laughter formed in her belly as she tried to catch her breath. "You're just complaining because your old age is finally starting to catch up with you, old man." Harper practically sang, her voice full of excitement, still winded as she watched with curiosity as he opened the door.~ London ~

Harper King
When her eyes spotted the pile of books they went wide, bouncing on the tip of her toes for a moment as she eyed them. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted him shoving something into his pocket, curiosity indeed peaking now. But she didn't say a word as he handed her half the stack of books. "Why, Mr. Gray, how you spoil me so!" She said, her mouth curving into a beautiful and light smile.
She looked over the books, peering at each title. He said he'd tried to come around me and Harper looked up from her half of the stack to give him a tilted grin. "Save me from my imminent solitude locked away in a house like some terrible fairytale. You are welcome around any time. I've got a book addiction as you know, clearly. You supply the books, I supply my presence." Harper said teasingly. "You are better company than my rowdy brothers, that's for sure...but you've always been that way."
Without overthinking about it, Harper reached on her tippy toes and kissed Jeremy's cheek lightly. "Thanks, Jerebear." She said as she pulled away, smiling as she looked at the books again, her cheeks suddenly turning pink as she realized what she had done. Clearing her throat, Harper looked up at him and met his eyes for a moment, "Sorry...that was...I don't know what that was." The woman said, "Now it's me who's not being very articulate." She laughed.
