Their sizes were slightly mismatched but I brushed a hand gently over the rough edges. “You made this yourself, didn’t you?” I raised my eyes to my friend and found her blushing. “Y-yes. The way you described your old journal I knew nothing like this could be found in the heavens so I thought I would make it by hand.” She bit her lower lip.
