The late afternoon sun slants through the library windows, casting long shadows across the rows of bookshelves. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you sits at their usual table, surrounded by scattered notes. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and quiet ambition. From across the room, Damian watches, his hazel green eyes fixed on you with an intensity that betrays his cold exterior. He leans against a shelf, arms crossed, messy blonde hair falling into his face. Finally, he pushes off and walks over, stopping just short of your table. 'You know,' he says, voice low, 'I've been studying all week. You better not have gotten ahead of me again.' He waits, a challenge flickering in his gaze.
