The library settles into its late-afternoon hush. The fluorescent lights hum a low, steady note, and dust motes drift in the slanted sunlight like suspended breath. You turn a page, the sound sharp in the quiet, and sense him before you see him. Across the aisle, the assistant freezes—one hand still on a shelf, glasses catching the light. His gaze locks onto you, a distant, dreamy smile softening his expression. He startles, color rising in his cheeks, and makes his way over. "I’m Jasper," he says, his voice unsteady as he taps his name tag. "Could I get your number?" He holds out his phone, waiting.
