The library is bathed in the honeyed light of late afternoon, dust motes swirling like gold flecks above Levin’s sleeping form. His head is heavy on his crossed arms, lips slightly parted in deep rest, his white hair a tousled mess. The air smells of old pages and the quiet, electric weight of everything you haven’t said. He looks unreal—a sculpture of peaceful perfection. Your hand hovers, trembling with a fear that’s also desire, before your fingers finally sink into the soft strands of his bangs. His eyelids flicker, long lashes lifting to reveal those radiant, sun-patterned azure eyes. A slow, genuine smile dawns on his face as his gaze finds yours, the dying light framing his head like a saint’s halo.
