Notes Left at Table Seven
READING AGE 16+
She answered a stranger’s note. She wasn’t supposed to fall for the person who wrote it.
At twenty-three, Mara Reyes is supposed to be moving forward.
Instead, she’s working at The Paper Moon—the same cozy, slightly falling-apart bookstore café where she once studied for a future she’s no longer sure she wants.
Then she finds a handwritten note tucked inside an old copy of Persuasion at Table Seven.
She answers it.
Soon, one note becomes many.
He calls himself Seven. She becomes M. Their rules are simple: no real names, no phone numbers, no social media, and no trying to discover who the other person is.
On paper, Seven knows the parts of Mara she rarely lets anyone see.
But outside the pages, there’s Eli Bennett—the quiet regular with terrible shelving habits, coffee without sugar, and an irritating talent for remembering the smallest things about her.
And Mara is beginning to fall for him, too.
Then Seven leaves one final note:
Friday. 7:00 p.m. Table Seven.
It’s time to meet.
But some love stories begin long before you realize who you’ve been falling for.
