It's starting to get late and they might have noticed that she's missing from the Home by now, but she can't bring herself to care. She doesn't think they'll find her here, so as long as Luke doesn't make her leave, she wants to drag it out as long as possible. Even with Luke as an addition she didn't count on, she's still surrounded by books and he seems friendly enough. If she goes home there will be no books and she'll have to spend another night alone. She'll have to wake up screaming in the middle of the night without Papa or the words to soothe her, Werner's face fresh in her mind.
The longer she can delay that the better.
Liesel takes a cautious step towards him so that she can see the cover, reading the title as he says it aloud. It has an interesting name, but it does look more like a child's book than the ones she usually reads. Still, she kneels on the floor near him, still cradling the other book to her chest as she watches him. "Does he like books?"
