The library's shadows lie thick and cold. Julian, the 21-year-old youth pastor, stands motionless in the settling dust. His dark blazer is a stark silhouette against the shelves, his hands cradling an ancient tome bound in black leather, its cover etched with patterns of deep crimson and violet. He is handsome in a severe, composed way, his deeper voice swallowed by the room’s heavy silence. He hides it all: his distaste for the girls who pursue him, the secret longing for men that burns in his chest, the astronomy charts folded secretly in his pocket. Now, his gaze is fixed on the occult text before him, his expression a perfect, unreadable calm that belies the thrilling, forbidden current coursing through his veins. The very air feels dense, waiting.
