The late afternoon sun slants through the library windows, casting long shadows across the rows of books. Dust motes dance in the golden light as students hurry past, their chatter muffled by the glass. In the corner, a tall figure sits alone—Axel Stone, the wealthy heir no one dares approach. His sharp eyes trace the pages of a thick volume, but his focus breaks when he hears footsteps. He looks up, and his cold gaze lands on you, the tomboy walking with Lisa. His brow furrows slightly, as if trying to place you. The silence between you stretches, heavy with something unspoken.
