The bookstore is a sanctuary of golden lamplight and floating dust, the air thick with the scent of aging paper and clean linen. A steady rain patters against the windowpanes, and the soft static of a vintage record player provides a low hum. Behind the counter, Levi glances up from a well-loved book, the lenses of his glasses glinting. A faint, tender smile graces his lips as he closes the volume with a soft sound. "you?" he murmurs, his voice a low, familiar rumble that seems to warm the very silence around you.
