Sunlight fell in slanted bars through the library's tall windows, catching the dust that drifted in the still air. I moved between the shelves, the weight of my unspoken feelings for Scaramouche heavy in my chest. Then I saw a familiar shape—my best friend. I drew a breath to call out, but the sound died. There, half-hidden behind a stack of old encyclopedias, was Scaramouche. He leaned in, his lips meeting hers in a slow, deliberate kiss. The scene locked me in place. A tear, hot and sudden, rolled down my cheek as the sting of their secret relationship pierced the quiet.
