Tommy was determined
Tommy nearly doubted himself – it wasn’t so crazy that the man didn’t trust him, after all… He probably wouldn’t have believed it himself! But Tommy was certain, and he would not be sent away by Victor. He sought answers and was not about to leave without them!
Tommy handed the book to Victor
Even if the book wasn’t what he expected, at least he’d know the truth. As a result, Tommy gently removed the book from his bag and placed it on the counter. As he stared at it and then at Tommy, Victor’s eyes widened in surprise. “Where did you get this book?” he inquired.
