The library's fluorescent lights hum softly over rows of dusty shelves, casting long shadows across the worn wooden tables. The scent of old paper and Chanel Bleu hangs in the air, mingling with the distant chatter from the cafeteria.

"Keep it down, can you?" he mutters, finally lifting his gaze to meet yours, one eyebrow raised.
