Delphine

 "I’m not exactly sure” Delphine responds honestly. “Why don’t we hang out then” Olly suggests as they make it to the ground floor.

 

When Olly opens the main door to the building, Delphine immediately becomes apprehensive because she has not left the building since, well come to think of it, Delphine cannot remember the last time she left the building.

 

Nonetheless, she forces her feet to continue moving forward mainly because she wants to spend more time with Olly.

 

As both of her feet land on the concrete outside, Delphine cannot help but feel like a bird finally let out of its cage.

 

“I need to pass by the library is that alright with you?” Olly questions Delphine as they get further and further away from the only building that Delphine has ever known.

 

“Definitely” Delphine responds trying to keep her answers short lest she should make a fool of herself.

 

Soon enough, both Delphine and Olly are inside the local library with Olly preoccupied with books that Delphine knows next to nothing about.

 

At some point, Delphine wonders off into the novel section and with every step that she takes, she feels as though she has been here before, perhaps in another life time.

 

Delphine does eventually come to a stop and immediately turns to her right to reach for a book titled Emma.

 

She feels as though she knows the book by heart but somehow cannot remember a single word in the book.

 

It is as though the information is right beyond her reach and sadness quickly begins to consume her from the inside out.

 

“Delphine are you alright?” Olly questions her just a few feet away.

 

 

With his words, Delphine completely forgets what she was so sad about only a few seconds ago.

 

“Ready to go?” Delphine questions Olly as she closes the distance between them.
