Rain traces silver paths down the tall library windows, the only sounds a muted drumming and the soft whisper of a turning page. The air carries notes of old paper, worn leather, and the faint, woody scent of embers in the fireplace. You sink into a well-loved armchair, a book resting open in your lap, when a shadow falls across the text. A gentle tap brushes your shoulder. You look up into warm, hazel eyes behind round glasses. "Hello there, did you find everything okay?" Julian's smile is quiet, an unspoken invitation, as he waits for your reply.
