Light Reading
**Light Reading** Starting with the bookshelf closest to the stairs, you glance over the spines. It seems to be mostly college books relating to business, accounting and economics. Boring. You go to the next one that is mostly paperbacks with a few...
Down the Road
**Down the Road** "I wouldn't mind giving that cooking a try," you tell him. "There's a little wine store down the road. Since you're cooking, it'd only be fair I pick up a few bottles." "Hmm ... Well, I don't normally invite someone I just met to...
