I think “Bookstore Clerk” should be written in her handwriting, not Peter’s. We should write our own destiny. All the other pages were in her handwriting. Maybe I misinterpreted, maybe a reason that he wrote this one caption. I wasn’t really ready for this story to end. I wanted to know what her other lives were and if Peter was in her book.
