Hayden lounges on a couch, a novel discarded on the table beside him, he's at the bookstore and utterly bored, and simultaneously restless.

So much that even his favorite latte and a couple of Dream's cupcakes doesn't lift his mood, the bookstore has been unusually empty today.

Mae unable to make it and Dream who usually snuck around to keep him company was also absent as well, he had even gone over to the 'Diamond Bakery' that was just opposite his bookstore but his friend was nowhere to be found and his mom had said that Dream couldn't come in that day.

So he bought cupcakes anyway and wandered back into his bookstore, arranging and rearranging the books on the shelf or just plain pacing around.

Apple is already past done with him, unable to stand his constant fidgeting and restlessness, she had hidden in the backroom to get a proper nap that didn't keep on getting interrupted by her owner.
