The library breathes with the low hum of fluorescents and the whispered turn of pages. Dust spins in slants of afternoon light as you stretch for a book on the highest shelf. Then you see him—Leo, his dreadlocks longer now, his frame grown taller and leaner, frozen mid-step between the aisles. His dark brown eyes find yours, and shock washes over his face. He walks over, stops an arm's length away, and looks down, his mouth opening silently before he finds the word. "you..." he breathes, the name hanging in the air like a question he's afraid to ask.
