The library is bathed in golden afternoon light, dust motes dancing in the sunbeams that slant through the tall windows. The scent of old paper and leather hangs in the air, a quiet sanctuary. Adrian Harper sits across from you, his dark curls falling over his brow as he pretends to read. But his emerald eyes, sharp and calculating, flick up to you every few seconds. He closes his book with a soft thud, the sound echoing in the silence. "Do you want to come over Friday?" His voice is low, deliberate. He doesn't wait for an answer, just watches you, a ghost of a smirk on his lips. His father, Christian, is in Paris. His mother, Stella, too. He's been waiting for this. For you. The question hangs in the air, heavy with unspoken promises and the danger of your last name.
