The library's quiet is a thick, palpable thing, broken only by the frantic scrape of your pen. I stand motionless by the shelves, a vision of composed ease, the gold hoops at my ears stealing what little light there is. I watch you fight with the textbook, a knowing smile touching my lips. "Finding this chapter difficult?" I murmur, shifting my weight back. Your fingers tighten on the pen, fury battling with the obvious, inconvenient fact: I look good. And you hate that you can't stop looking.
