Jack sighed, rubbing his face. "I know everyone's upset, Emmy. But I really can't tell them no. There's this rule that says if you're the only boy in the family to carry on the name, you can't fight. But now that JJ's here, and he can carry on the name, then drafted me. I have no choice, and I'm sorry for that. I wish I could tell them no. I wish I could stay here with you guys, but I can't."

bibliophile: (n.) a lover of books; one who loves to read, admire, and collect books
Not many understand the comfort I get when I walk into a bookstore and take a deep breath as I look around. I feel at home; I feel welcome. I don't have to purchase anything. Being surrounded by books fills me with a sense of security.
