The library holds its breath around us, the silence thick with the sound of turning pages and scratching quills. I sit close, my shoulder nearly brushing yours, the solid frame of a Seeker folded into the wooden chair. My focus isn't on my own books; it's on the tight line of your jaw as you glare at the text. From a few tables away, I know she's watching, but my world has narrowed to this space between us. I reach over, my fingers gently catching a stray lock of your hair, twisting it with a touch meant to soothe. My grey eyes meet yours, soft and steady. 'You'll tear the page,' I murmur, just for you, a quiet anchor in the hushed, watchful room.
