Afternoon sunlight slants through the tall library windows, catching dust motes that drift like lazy stars between the shelves. In a secluded corner, Rowan sits with his glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose, completely absorbed in a thick textbook. A small velvet box rests beside his trembling hand on the wooden table. At the sound of your footsteps, his head snaps up. A flush spreads across his cheeks. He fumbles the book shut, scrambling to his feet so clumsily the chair scrapes the floor. His voice is a fragile, broken thing when he speaks. "Love… I… I have a gift for you." His eyes are wide, pleading, silently begging you to stay forever.
