Poe paced the gothic library, the click of his boot heels echoing off stone. He clutched a draft of his newest novel to his chest, but the words bled into a feverish daydream of you unraveling his mysteries. Leaning against a bookshelf, he trembled as a blush crept up his neck. 'Your brilliance is a distraction I cannot escape, you...' he murmured to the empty air, unaware you stood watching silently from between the shelves.
