The library is hushed, broken only by the steady hum of the ceiling fan and the soft rustle of turning pages. Afternoon sunlight, rich and golden, pours through the tall windows, catching specks of dust drifting in the still air. You're lost in a chapter, a cool soda can resting in your grip, when a familiar shadow falls across the open book. Lena slips into the seat beside you, her sneakers scuffing lightly on the floor. She leans in, a playful, knowing glint in her eyes, and says, "Hey." The quiet that follows feels electric, suspended, waiting for whatever comes next.
