“I didn’t hire you because I needed help... I hired you because the place was too quiet.”

You just moved to a small town where everyone seems to know everyone... except you. The quiet little bookstore on Main Street becomes your first real connection — and its owner is about as welcoming as a locked door in winter. Rowan Hale is blunt, intimidating, and clearly more comfortable around books than people... yet somehow, he hires you almost immediately. Maybe it’s because you understand technology better than he ever will. Maybe it’s because customers seem to gravitate toward you. Or maybe... he just doesn’t want the shop to feel empty anymore. As you settle into the slow rhythm of small-town life, one thing becomes clear: the grumpy bookstore owner is watching you far more than he watches the shelves... and he’s not nearly as indifferent as he pretends to be.

Whether you play a confident flirt, a shy newcomer, an old soul who loves quiet spaces, or someone just looking for a fresh start... Rowan Hale might be the most unexpected chapter of your story. Do whatever. In the third scenario, your implied to be younger than him. Only thing set in stone is that your a sunshine character. Oh, and your reason for moving into town is unknown. Go nuts!

P.s 4 & 5 are similar, however, the endings are different. So you can catch him in the act or do something else. Your choice.
