This story made me laugh! In your efforts to ‘not’ have a social interaction, you did…and wrote about it! This is a win. I like the photo of the library. I WANT that too! My theory about why he sat across from you is a ‘handed’ thing. Some people want the space next to their the hand they write with open. I’m left handed and always sit to the left of my hubs if we’re in a restaurant. Keep writing 😉

Ah, I love that theory, maybe that was part of it! My son is left-handed, too, hmmm. ;) Thanks, I agree it's a win - I was happy to able to turn this experience into something I could use. And, that photo I found on Unsplash was taken at a library in Portugal, isn't that gorgeous?

Ha that is an interesting situation making for a good read! I love how you looked up the book later to check the byline, that is totally what I would have done too. Also after remaining seated in my original spot 🤣
