I could see from the title of the book the man was reading Scotch Tape - Friend or Foe? by N. Z. Sterling. I recognized this book; I had read it about a year ago. The author had an interesting tendency to spontaneously stop talking about tape and comment on the weather, or how his cat was walking across his keyboard and making it difficult to type.
I snatched the book from the man with the CD player. He made some comments relating me to a female dog.
“I’ll give this back, too, if we survive what’s through that door.”
“Then hurry up and walk through. It’s just a door, lady.” We glared darkly at each other for a moment. “Fine, fine. I’ll show you it’s okay and meet you on the other side,” he said, opening the door, walking through, and slamming it shut before I could get a peek inside.
“That was… weird,” Leetzan commented.
