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.

Gaston dropped his gaze to hide the blush rising to his cheeks. Thankfully, Cami's reaction to that little revelation hadn't been as bad as he was dreading. Oh, so she was a fan of mysteries? "Then you and my father have something in common," he said with a slight chuckle. "He's a fan of mysteries too." Made sense given his line of work, come to think of it. "Do you have a favorite mystery?"

Then the conversation turned to Emmeline, and his expression changed. "Oh? How is she?" he asked, his eyes betraying every bit of concern he felt. He hoped things were going better for her now! He smiled a little when she mentioned creatures. He was well aware of Emmeline's fascination with creatures already, and he thought it was adorable! Now if he could just come up with some good book recommendations...

He was lost in thought for a moment as his mind wandered back through long days spent in the library as a child, hoping some of the creature books he read long ago would come back to him. He could really use his mother's expertise on books right now! Then an idea occurred to him! "Do you think she'd like the Doctor Dolittle books?" he said. "They're about a doctor who talks to animals..."
