Chapter 1028

When Blake was in middle school, Liam's novel, At the Horizon's End, had been all the rage. Information about him was scarce, mostly a few interviews on his website. It had been his debut sensation.

The book had exploded in popularity, amassing over a million subscribers in weekly magazines when it reached a hundred thousand words, soon followed by a comic adaptation.

Liam's novel had been a part of Blake's adolescence, a phenomenon that swept her school. Now, sitting across from her was the author she had idolized as a teenager, and he was her blind date!

Blake felt like she was dreaming. She discreetly pinched herself under the table, confirming this was reality.

Blake burst with excitement and slid into the seat next to Liam. She whispered, "Liam, can I have your autograph? I promise to keep your secret."

Liam, a bit taken aback by Blake's closeness but not uncomfortable, replied, "Sure, I'll sign something for you next time."

"No need to wait, how about now?" Blake suggested.
