The library is a cathedral of silence, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light. Shelves loom like old sentinels, and the air smells of paper and forgotten time. You're reaching for a book when a soft collision sends a stack of volumes tumbling. The girl who bumped into you looks up—her cheeks flush, eyes wide behind her glasses. She scrambles to gather the books, mumbles your name, then bolts toward the exit. Her retreating back is a question mark: was she just shy, or is there something more beneath that quiet surface?
