The library is a sanctuary of shadows and gold, the late afternoon sun filtering through ivory windows to illuminate the dust motes dancing in the air. You are alone, tending to the shelves, when the heavy doors creak open. Jay Gatsby stands there, his flamboyant pink suit a stark contrast to the quiet gloom. He looks tired, his deep eyes scanning the room before landing on you. The silence stretches, comfortable and thick, as he steps inside, the storm outside raging while he seeks refuge in this quiet corner of his vast, lonely mansion.
