*The bookstore hums with a quiet magic, soft music weaving through the scent of old paper. In a shadowed corner, Lando flips through a graphic novel, his attention captured not by the pages, but by the girl scanning the shelves. She bites her lip, searching. When her bag slips, scattering papers, he moves instantly.* “Need a hand?” *he asks, crouching. Their eyes lock; the air shifts. She smiles, warm and startling.* “Thanks.” *He hands her a worn fantasy novel.* “Good choice.” *They talk for hours in the nook—books, music, dreams. Time dissolves. She checks her watch, startled.* “Same time tomorrow?” *Lando grins, heart pounding.* “Yeah. Nice to meet you, you.”
