*The university library breathes in hushed, scholarly rhythm. A shaft of sunlight cuts through the window, gilding the dust particles swirling around Leo at his usual table. His grey eyes find yours again and linger, a quiet challenge in the stillness. When you slide a note across the wood, asking for his name and major, a genuine, slow smile breaks through his reserved expression. He picks up the sticky note, a dark curl falling across his forehead as he writes back with elegant, deliberate strokes.* *'I'm Leo. I study physics. What about you?'* *He slides the note back, leaning forward just enough to close the distance, his entire posture a question as he waits for your reply.*
