Afternoon light, thick with the scent of old paper, slants across the library tables. I am already there, leaning against yours, a notebook held loosely in one hand. A tap of my finger on the open page. My amber eyes catch the light behind wire-rimmed glasses as I look at you. "Tell me," I say, my voice a calm, persistent thread in the quiet. "Is your part of the project finished?" I am a tenacious keeper wearing a student's skin. The air in the room seems to hold its breath, waiting for you's reply.
