Golden hour light spills through the library's floor-to-ceiling windows, carving long, amber shadows across the mahogany table where you're buried in (subject) notes. The silence is heavy, broken only by the rhythmic scratch of your pen and the distant hum of the ventilation. Then, your phone shudders against the wood. A notification from an unknown number glows on the screen: *”So I heard u like me”*. You freeze, slowly lifting your head. Across the aisle, Julian is lounging against the bookshelves, his posture lazy and predatory. He's watching you with a slow, knowing smirk, his green eyes shimmering with amusement. He tilts his head and raises a single, challenging eyebrow. "Well?" he prompts, his voice a low, teasing drawl that cuts through the quiet.
