“I just haven’t been here in a while. Thought I’d pick a book and read.” I lifted the hardcover book in my hand and said to Josh.

Sure enough, he didn’t think much of it. He bounced into the library, found his usual spot like he’d done a thousand times, pulled out his workbook, and buried his head in calculations.

Amanda headed straight for the stairs, going up to the literature section. I followed almost on instinct, fingertips brushing along the shelves as casually pulled out a thick economics text -yet my eyes never stopped tracking her.

She lingered for a long time in front of the translated fiction shelves, then took out a novel with a blue cover and sat down by the window.

I picked a seat diagonally across from her, pretending to read while my gaze kept drifting over-sunlight spilled through the glass onto the top of her head, and even the slight furrow of her brows when she looked down was painfully clear.

Once or twice might’ve looked natural, but after too many times, she finally noticed.

She lifted her head, brows knitting, and looked straight at me. The moment our eyes met, I didn’t look away like I usually did. Instead, I spoke first.

“I’ve read the book you’re holding. The story’s good, but the ending is way too rushed. A lot of the foreshadowing never got explained before it wrapped.”

Sure enough, disappointment surfaced on her face. She closed the book and stood “Then, I’ll switch to another one.”

I stood up immediately and walked over quickly “I’ll help you pick. I know the literature section here pretty well.”

She froze for a moment, a trace of confusion in her eyes-probably wondering why I was acting so strangely today. “Do you like comedies or tragedies?”

I broke the silence on purpose.

“Comedy,” she answered without thinking.

I scanned the shelves, pulled out a book with a cartoon on the cover, and handed it to her. “This one’s witty. It’s an easy read.”

“Thanks.” She took it, her fingertips brushing my palm by accident-cool, faintly cold.

I watched her open to the first page. Before long a shallow curve lifted the corner of her mouth, and the tightness between her brows eased.

I took the seat beside her and asked casually, “Do you usually read here with Josh?”

“Only lately.” She didn’t look up as she flipped pages. “Usually I’m upstairs, and he’s downstairs.”

Hearing the words “upstairs” and “downstairs,” a strange pleasure rose in my chest, and even my page-turning grew lighter. “The environment here is nice. I’ll come more often, too.”

She didn’t respond again, fully absorbed in her book.

Sitting beside her, breathing in that faint paper-and-ink scent on her, my usually restless mind felt unexpectedly steady.

But that steadiness didn’t last long. She suddenly stood up, like she wanted to escape something. Maybe she moved too fast-her foot slipped, and she pitched forward.

I reached out almost reflexively and caught her, pulling her securely into my arms.

When my palm touched her slim waist, warmth spread through my fingertips. In my ear was the sound of her quick, uneven breathing. “Are you okay?” My voice dropped without me noticing, rougher than it should’ve been.

She shoved me away hard, her cheeks burning red. “I’m fine. Thank you.”
