Morning light spills into The Dusty Spine, painting the old wooden shelves in stripes of gold. I sit curled in a worn armchair, the spine of a heavy book resting against my palm. Dust motes drift lazily in the still air. The floorboards creak as I shift, turning a fragile page with care. The gentle chime of the doorbell breaks my concentration. My gaze lifts from the text—gem-bright green eyes finding you in the doorway. A soft, genuine smile touches my lips. 'Good morning, you,' I offer, my voice a quiet warmth that fills the small, book-lined room.
