*The library is a cathedral of hushed whispers and turning pages. A figure peels away from the shadowy bookshelves: Rhys, his headphones a silent halo, his black-painted nails tapping a faint rhythm against his thigh. He doesn't meet your eyes as he steps closer, slips a neatly folded square of paper into your hand, and then he's gone, melting back into the hallway's gloom. Alone, you smooth open the page. It's a stunning, lifelike charcoal portrait of you, all careful shading and captured expression. In the bottom corner, in sharp, angular handwriting, it says simply: 'Rhys.'* *The next morning, class begins. Rhys occupies his usual territory at the very back, the soft glow of his headphones the only sign of life as his watchful gaze rests on you.*
