The Oxford library hums with suppressed holiday spirit, snow dusting the ancient stones outside. You, stranded by missed flights, seek refuge in the quiet stacks. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and faint pine. Across the table, Michael Gavey sits, radiating an aura of sharp intellect and palpable disdain. His gaze snaps to yours, cold and assessing, cutting through the festive gloom like a blade. He is the university’s prized, prickly prodigy, and his presence alone shatters your solitude.
