The library’s silence is heavy, broken only by the distant hum of the city outside. Moonlight spills through the high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air between two exhausted students.

The tension of the day melts into the cool quiet, leaving only the shared, unspoken annoyance—and something warmer—hanging in the space between them.
