  Speaker 1: my heart and the hearts of everyone on the Get
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Sleepy team, It really means everything to us that you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: continue to listen and make this show a part of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: your bedtime routine. When we started out in November of 2019,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we had absolutely no idea how the show would be received.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But even to this day, I'm still blown away by
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: how much it's resonated with you all. And I personally
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: feel so blessed to be a part of it. So
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: thank you to each and every one of you out there.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And we've got a great story to celebrate tonight too.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We're heading to the stunning Mediterranean island of Santorini, where
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a girl named Olive goes in search of an elusive bookshop.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: This was a listener request that we actually received via
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: our Get Sleepy TikTok account. We're grateful for every which
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: way you choose to reach out to us, so remember
• 1:30

• 1:33
  Speaker 1: by searching Get Sleepy Pod, all as one word. Okay friends,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: before I start our story, let's settle in and take
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a moment to unwind. Just as we have for all
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: 300 episodes so far, and will continue to do so.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I know that the majority of you really appreciate having
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a bit of time to transition into a more relaxed
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: state of body and mind when you come here to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: listen at night. So let's enjoy that opportunity once again,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: here and now. Begin by easing your breathing. into a slower,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: deeper pattern. Feeling the calming sensation that comes with the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: release of the out-breath. And while you focus on your breathing,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to know just how grateful I am
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for your company here tonight. however you feel right now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: good or bad, settled or restless, or anything else lingering within.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It makes no difference to how grateful I am for you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: By being here, you're granting yourself a token of care.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: You are here to rest well, and to feel more
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: energized for the day ahead tomorrow. But your presence here
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: also supports everything the team and I are doing. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for that, we are so full of appreciation to you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So be in no doubt As to just how special. Unique.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And appreciated. You are. And with one more deep breath in.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And a gentle exhale. Let your head sink further. Into
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the pillow. And allow your mind. to soften with it. Now,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: let your imagination carry you through our story. Bring to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: mind the supremely relaxing image of the clear turquoise waters
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of the Mediterranean Sea. Let the sound of the waves
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and the warmth of the sun calm your whole being.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This is where our story begins. Olive stood at the waterfront,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gazing up at the dazzling white expanse of Santorini, perched
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: atop the hill in front of her. It was a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: bright blue day, without a single cloud in sight. Sunlight
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: glinted off the buildings. Turning around, Olive watched tiny waves
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: lap against the side of an enormous cruise ship. All around,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the ocean sparkled like diamonds on a bed of turquoise.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: This was the kind of day that Olive loved best.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Perfect skies, a light breeze, and time to do whatever
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: she wanted. Today, she planned to explore every nook and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: cranny of a very special place she discovered last week.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: When she first came across it, she was playing with
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a paper airplane. A gust of wind carried it out
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of her hands, around a corner, and into an alcove
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: on a street she'd never seen before. A little way on,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: she spotted a hand-painted sign hanging from an iron rod
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: protruding from the wall. It read, The Hole in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Wall Bookshop. Olive thought she'd found every secret place in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this town. She'd climbed every cobbled road, scurried up every hillside,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and peeked under every wooden dock down by the water.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: But somehow, this narrow, winding alley and its tucked-away shop
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: had eluded her When Olive woke up this morning, she
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: knew today was the day. She didn't have to be
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: back until dark, so she'd have hours and hours to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: follow the twisting, turning little street wherever it led, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: inspect the shop if she could find it. Olive liked
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to see the big ships come into Santorini in the mornings.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: She'd get dressed and make her way to the Caravalades stairs,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the long, wide steps that zigzagged down from the cliffs
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to the old port below. At the bottom, she'd find
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a place to sit and watch all of the people
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: coming into town. She especially liked the ladies wearing the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: wide-brimmed hats. Some of the hats had ribbons, whose ends
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: fluttered about the women's faces with every gust of wind.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Strong breezes were common here on the island. While the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: weather was beautiful most of the time, Santorini was rocky
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and exposed to the elements. But the wind always carried
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: with it the briny smell of the Aegean Sea and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the dusty, salty fragrance of some baked rocks. Olive loved
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the familiar scent and took extra deep breaths whenever the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: breeze wrapped her in its warm embrace. As Olive watched,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a group of travelers disembarked a smaller watercraft that had
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: carried them to the port. Everyone looked so happy. and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so excited for their day on shore. Olive understood their
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: sense of anticipation. Though she knew Santorini like the back
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: of her hand, she still felt a tingle of excitement
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: every time she was about to spend a day exploring, too.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a few of the passengers glanced her way and smiled
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: as they walked past. Sometimes she'd wave back, but today,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Olive was feeling thoughtful. She usually stayed down here for longer,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: but she felt the familiar pull of adventure. The mystery
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: alley as she'd named it, was waiting. So was the bookshop.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: She hopped off her perch and skipped to the bottom
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of the stairs. Coming down the hill was the easy part.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It was much harder to go back up the nearly
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: 600 steps to the top. but the incline wasn't bad.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The switchbacks made the path meander up the face of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the cliff. It would be impossible to climb if you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: had to go straight up. It was moments like this
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that made Olive wish she had a pair of wings
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so she could fly back up to town. but she
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: supposed her own two feet would have to be good
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: enough today. The stairs were so long that it took
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Olive at least two of her own natural strides to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: get from one to the next. When she was feeling feisty,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: she pretended to be a tiger taking extra long steps
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and curling her fingers into claws. If no one else
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: was around, she'd even bare her teeth and let out
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a long, low growl. This was always followed by giggling.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: especially when someone walking up or down the path happened
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to catch her eye while she was doing it. But today,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Olive was determined to get to the top as efficiently
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: as possible. The tiger stayed inside, and the world-famous athlete
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: came out instead. Olive imagined she was tasked with carrying
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the blazing Olympic torch to the top of the hill.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: No one else could possibly do the job but her.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: With a steady gaze and muscles engaged, she walked with
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: determination up the stairs. She could almost feel the weight
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: of the torch in her hand. About halfway up, her
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: legs were starting to get tired. But she was an Olympian,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and tired legs wouldn't stop her. With the sound of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the crowd cheering her on in her mind, Olive kept going.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: When she reached the final stair, she held out her hand,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: passing the invisible torch to the next runner who would
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: take it across the sea. With a little bow and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a cheerful smile, Olive turned and headed into town. Soon
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: she was making her way down a quiet back street.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It was barely wide enough for two people to pass
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: each other, going in opposite directions. Luckily, she was the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: only one in sight. Olive liked this particular street because
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of the way it wound back and forth between tall
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: white buildings and the edge of the hill, where she
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: was afforded stunning views of the sea. Being situated on
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a steep island meant that many of the streets here
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: skirted the outer wall of a residential terrace or shop.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It felt to Olive as though she were walking on
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a long balcony that wrapped around the edge of the world.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: When the street veered inwards, the sounds of birds and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: water were muffled by towering stone and plaster walls. In
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: these places, Long shadows kept the ambient temperature cool. Olive
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: reached out one of her arms and ran her hand
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: against the side of a building. She felt it turn
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: from hot to cool beneath her fingers as she crossed
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: in and out of shadow. Her footsteps on the stone
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: echoed around her. Sometimes she skipped or hopped to change
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the rhythm as she went along. When she reached her
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: favorite corner, she paused for a moment. Here, the path
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: gave way to a short staircase leading down to the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: next level of homes and shops. At the corner, brightly
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: painted ceramic pots held giant creeping vines that climbed up
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the side of the building. A yellow pot held by
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a woody shrub that reached up the brilliant white wall.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: A scattering of pinkish-purple blooms dotted the green and brown
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: tangle like paint splashed on a blank canvas. The blue
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: pot had an intricate design painted around its rim. Olive
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: had often laid down on the colourful tiles that the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: owner set into the ground here and studied the pattern.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: It was easy for her to get lost in the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: tiny world of swirling spirals and boxy outlines. She liked
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: to trace the pattern with the tip of her finger,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: even though she couldn't go all the way around The
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: back of the pot rested against the chalk-white wall. Whoever
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: lived here had also painted the doorway to their house
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a bright blue. It perfectly matched both the sky and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the expanse of ocean in the distance. With her back
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to the potted plants, Olive looked out over the sea.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Her imagination sailed to the horizon where it found the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: water really was made of diamonds. With every lapping wave
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: came the tinkling sound of crystal as precious gemstones tapped
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the hull of her imagine. boat. She imagined dipping a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: wooden oar into the crystalline depths and pulling it through
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: glittering mounds that twinkled like sunlit stars. But soon, her
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: mind returned to shore as she recalled the mission at hand.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: It was time to resume her walk. She wondered how
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: she'd never come across the mystery alley before. She often
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: played in that part of town and sometimes stopped for
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a lemonade at a nearby shop. Maybe she'd always been
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: too busy having fun to notice it. Or maybe it
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: had magically appeared the day she was following her paper airplane.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Perhaps it would be gone today, only to pop up
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: again in another part of town, a week or even
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: a month from now. She would just have to wait
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and see. Olive followed the narrow back street as it
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: curved around behind two houses and a smattering of shops.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: A retaining wall facing the sea was covered in delicate
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: vines speckled with yellow and green. She traced the vines
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: with her fingertips before hopping to the other side of
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the path into the long shadow of a tall, whitewashed building.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: The grey shadow bathed her skin in a gentle coolness,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a welcome sensation after a morning spent in the sharp
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Mediterranean sun Olive lifted her hands to her cheeks and
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: felt the residual warmth there. She smiled, squishing her cheeks
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: with her palms, and then frowned, pulling her hands down. Finally,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: she giggled and skipped on down the alley as it
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: turned away from the ocean towards the center of town.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: After a few minutes, she came to a crossroads. This
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: was the place where, not too long ago, she'd been
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: playing with her paper airplane. Olive closed her eyes, remembering
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the moment. Her hands moved with the memory, like a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: conductor moving leading an orchestra of just one. She folded
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the paper just so, tucking in the edges and making
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a nice crisp line right down the middle. She lifted
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the airplane over her shoulder, counted to two, And before
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: she got to three, a gust of wind snatched it
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: out of her hand. As she imagined it leaving her grasp,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: she opened her eyes, picturing the way it soared up,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: then down, before curving around that corner. into the alley
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: she'd never seen before. And there the alley was, just
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: where she'd left it. Olive tiptoed over to the wall,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: running alongside the street, dividing her from the mystery alley.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: If this place really did appear out of nowhere, She
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: might have to sneak up on it, she thought. It
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: was better to be safe in any case. She crept
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: along the wall. When she reached the corner of the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: mystery alley, she took a deep breath. Letting it out,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: she peeked around the bend. Her eyes widened as she
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: caught sight of the hand-painted sign hanging from the iron
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: rod protruding from the wall. It read, The Hole in
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the Wall Bookshop. With one final glance over her shoulder,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: she stepped into the mystery alley. Standing below the sign,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: she could hear it squeaking gently every time the breeze
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: caught it. To Olive, the sign seemed quite a bit
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: higher up than it had from a distance, but it
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: was what she found beneath it that captured her imagination.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Nestled into what seemed to be a natural depression in
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the face of the wall was a round door. On
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: either side were old-fashioned windows with thick panes edged in blue.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: What a strange door, Olive thought to herself. she'd never
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: seen one quite like it before. It was painted a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: bright white color that blended in perfectly with the wall
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that surrounded it. It would be easy to pass by
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: without ever noticing it unless you were looking for an
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: entrance like Olive was. She pressed her face against the window,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: cupping her hands around her eyes. The view was somewhat
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: distorted by the wavy glass, but she could still make
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: out hundreds and hundreds of books inside. She stepped back
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and considered what to do. Looking up, she saw that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the sun was still high in the sky. She had
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: plenty of time before she needed to be on her
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: way home. Olive made up her mind, and placing a
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: hand on the brass doorknob, she pushed open the round door.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Inside the bookshop, the world around Olive was transformed. She
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: was met by the familiar scent of old books, worn pages,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and smudged ink. The air was still, yet brimming with
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: possibility at all the worlds to be explored within the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: books that lined the walls. Even the quality of the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: light was different. Outside, it was a bright and sunny
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: island day. But here, antique lamps covered in thick decorative
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: glass glowed in shades of rich amber and silky honey.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Pools of light spilled onto the deep red and forest
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: green carpet and over the worn mahogany tables covered in
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: stacks of books. Near where she'd come in was a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: small counter with an old cash register and even more
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: topsy-turvy piles of books. Olive didn't see anyone else in
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the shop. not even the owner. But since it was
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the middle of the day and the shop was open,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: she thought it would be fine to have a look around.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: She shuffled her feet across the carpet, enjoying the way
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: it tugged at the bottoms of her shoes. unlike the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: smooth stone that covered much of Santorini. When she reached
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the other side of the shop, she found a section
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: full of mystery novels. Olive ran her fingers up and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: down the spine, feeling how some were long and others
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: were short. Some had creases from being read countless times,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: while others had never been opened. Every book told not
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: only the story in its pages, but its own story too.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: how many people had owned it, read it, marked it up,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: or given it as a gift to someone else. She
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: played with the titles as they passed through her mind,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: putting them together and taking them apart. The curious case
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: of the cat and the doorbell the drop of the pin,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a new man in town. They soon became the cat
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: case of the doorbell and the pin man in Olive's
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: imagination as she moved from shelf to shelf. Soon she
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: came to a section with books about dinosaurs. These had
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the best covers, she thought. Many of the books were
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: tall and thin, with full-color illustrations of life in the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Jurassic period. She flipped through one, and then another, reading
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: all about fins and wings and claws. and the world
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: before it had buildings and restaurants, or even airplanes. Slowly
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and methodically, Olive made her way around the whole shop.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: She peered into every cabinet, and checked every nook and cranny,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: She found the corner with the beanbag chairs and the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: one with the blankets and floor pillows. There was a
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: nice little alcove near the cookbook section that even had
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a hammock suspended between two heavy bookshelves. Olive climbed in.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and wrapped herself in the fuzzy blanket she found, along
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: with a book on Santorini's history. She flipped through the pages,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: reading all about how the island came to be, and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: what made it so special today. There was something magical
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: in reading about the town outside, from the cozy comfort
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of this bookshop, which felt like another world. Olive yawned
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: as she considered just how sleepy this peaceful place was
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: making her. The pools of amber and honey-colored light the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: smell of old familiar books. Even the stillness of the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: air made her ready for a nap. She closed her eyes,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and before she knew it, she had dozed off. Oliver
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: woke some time later, still holding the history book, all
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: wrapped up in the comfy blanket. She wasn't sure how
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: long she'd slept, but knew it was probably nearly sunset.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It was time for her to be on her way home.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: she crawled out of the hammock and shuffled sleepily over
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to the history section where she'd found the book on Santorini.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Just as she was about to put it back on
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the shelf, she heard a kind voice behind her. Why
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: don't you take the book with you if you aren't
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: finished reading it yet? Olive turned and saw an older
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: man wearing half-moon glasses peering down at her. She explained
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that she didn't have any money to buy it, but
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: he only smiled. Why, it's my gift to you as
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: a first-time visitor, he said, and you're welcome back to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: read any time you'd like. Olive grinned and thanked the owner,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: holding her new book proudly in her arms. Walking towards
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the front door, she looked back at the hole-in-the-wall bookshop.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: It was quaint and cozy, like the smell of her
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: mother's cookies. or the pavement after a rain shower. The
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: soft glow of the lights gave the shop a magical touch.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: In that moment, Olive knew she'd return to the shop
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: someday soon to see what awaited her between the pages
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: of the next book.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: for watching. Thank you. Thank you for watching. Thank you.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. you you you Thank you.
