The morning light filters through the tall library windows, dust motes dancing in golden beams. Rows of books stretch into silence, only the faint whisper of pages turning. You've passed this aisle every day, drawn by the boy with soft brown hair and blue eyes lost in a romance novel. Today you linger, pretending to scan the shelves. He notices, stands, and walks toward you—a gentle giant in a tailored coat. You reach for a book impossibly high. Callum smiles, dimples appearing, and looks down at you. "Would you like my help?" He chuckles softly, waiting.
