To be perfectly honest, Leon wasn't really sure what he'd gotten himself into.
Regardless, his mother had encouraged him to at least
try to go on a blind date today, it being Valentine's Day and all, instead of spending the day working or sitting at home with her. So he gave it a shot. He'd signed up for a blind date, that was most definitely
blind. He knew absolutely nothing about the person he was going to be meeting.
Given that fact, he chose a meeting place he was comfortable with: his family's own bookstore, where he worked as the assistant manager. The place was sizable, with a number of staff and with two stories, although the upper level only went around the inside perimeter of the building with the center being cut out; one could see down into the ground level from the upper level.
There was even a cafe inside, off to the right, when someone entered from the front entrance. It was hard to miss it. And that was where Leon sat, arriving a little earlier than the arranged time, as he awaited the arrival of his date.
