The following morning just as the sun began to rise James, Lilly and their other son Maliketh arrived at the old bookstore in preparation for the party later that night. With a smile the young six year old Maliketh rushed into the bookstore closely followed by Lilly. As for James him and Judah unloaded the gifts as well as the rest of the party supplies from the wagon and into the bookstore and up to the upstairs apartment.
Meanwhile upstairs Joy had started to decorate the dinning area while Old Ben just sat in his study and Rebekah was in her room packing a small traveling back while getting some other special and unique keepsakes ready to transfer to the special room of which her and Marcus shared together last night.
As for Marcus well he was nowhere near the bookstore. In fact he was standing in the inner courtyard of the Temple of Ari but we'll get to that later. For now lets just focus on the bookstore and the party being planned upstairs.
