The promise of more // open+rebellion meeting/book club

THE MOON'S WATCHING OVER— She wasn't sure why this had been the first thought that occurred to her. A book club. She'd been meaning to set one up to try and get the community involved in her 'new' bookstore but now wasn't the time for book clubs. However, now was the time where people needed secret, unassuming places to discuss very illegal and important things. So, she'd made flyers and even picked out a book to advertise the group and she'd gone to those she knew to be Griffingate citizens. The people she saw on the street every single day yet barely even said hello to. She personally invited them and, once being sure that no one else was near, she explained it's true purpose. That they would meet to find a way to get Blackfall out and, more importantly, save Freddie. Well, at least it was the more important part for her. She'd never been one for politics and having one group leading her over the other wasn't a problem. She just wanted her friend back. In any case, she'd invited as many people as she could think of and she'd made plenty of cookies and brownies and just baked goods in general to make it look like a proper book club (after all, what would such events be without snacks?). Now all that was left to do was wait for the interested parties to arrive. She quietly adjusted some of the pillows on a chair and settled down, anxiously breaking apart a peanut butter cookie as she did so. —YOU AND YOUR DREAMS
