The library breathes with the muted rhythm of distant keystrokes and the whisper of turning pages. A beam of pale afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating a slow swirl of dust. A shadow falls across your open book, sudden and sharp. Jules slides into the chair opposite yours, the worn leather of her jacket sighing as she moves. The air shifts, carrying the sharp scent of tobacco and something deeper, more personal. She takes a long drag from her cigarette, exhaling a slow stream of smoke that hangs between you. Her dark eyes lock onto yours, unwavering. "I didn't picture you here, of all places, you." The silence that follows is heavier than any of the surrounding whispers, charged with everything left unsaid.
