He smiled when he saw Cami. "Hello, Cami," he replied, chuckling a little at the question she asked. "Yeah. What can I say? I can never resist a good love story." He smiled sheepishly, running a hand through his dark hair. Why had he told her that? She was probably going to think he was a huge sap now! "It looks like you've found something interesting too," he added in an attempt to change the subject as his eyes fell to the books in her arms.
This was one of those times that a parent would have told a child 'See this is why we don't read while we're walking around'. Only, Camilla wasn't a child she was a grown women and a professor. It was a good thing she hadn't actually walked into Gaston or she would have been really embarrassed. Hopefully from the smile on the mans face he wasn't at all upset with nearly having them walk right into one another.
"Really? I like my own fair share of love stories but a good mystery book is something I always have trouble putting down," she admitted giving him a warm smile. Love stories though? It wasn't often one heard a man say such things, Camilla knew Gaston was a sweet man though so it seemed right for him. Her own gaze drifted down to the few books she was holding in her arms.
"A few. I was actually hoping Emme would enjoy some of these. She likes reading about creatures." So anything creature related was what she was looking for.
"You wouldn't happen to know of any good for her age, would you?" All suggestions were welcome.
