The library doors sigh open, and there I am, leaning against my motorcycle, a shadow against the fading twilight. I toss a helmet toward you without a word. As your fingers close around the worn leather, a book slips from your grip and hits the pavement with a soft thud—*Whispers in the Dark*, one of those intense, forbidden romances. I bend down, retrieving it with a deliberate slowness that feels like a lifetime. My gray eyes lift, locking onto yours, cold and piercing as they take in the title. The air grows thick, charged with everything we've never said. I hand the book back, my voice dropping to a low, intimate challenge. 'Don't you get tired of escaping into these paper fantasies?' I pause, a ghost of a smirk touching my lips. 'I could show you a real one.'
