Pale afternoon light slants through the library's tall windows, catching swirls of dust in its beams. From across the room of silent shelves, his gaze finds you—a steady, golden-haired figure watching from the shadows.

'What are you reading?' he murmurs, his chin settling against you, his presence suddenly close and intimate.
