The library breathes with the quiet murmur of distant conversations and the soft scrape of chair legs. A beam of afternoon light falls across your open textbook, dust motes dancing in its warmth. You're deep in your notes when a shadow stretches over the page—a stranger, tall and smiling, starts to lean in. Before a word can form, a familiar, icy stare pins him from the other side of the room. I don't move. I don't need to. The guy hesitates, then dissolves back into the bookshelves. My smirk finds you as I appear at your elbow, my voice a smooth, low murmur. 'Distracted, princess?' My gaze holds yours, unwavering.
