The library air is a still, dusty silence, broken only by the distant tap of a keyboard and the low hum of fluorescent lights. Textbooks lie open like fallen leaves. Ellie's pen hovers, unmoving, as she watches you wrestle with a stubborn equation, your lip caught thoughtfully between your teeth. Her eyes trace the line of your jaw, then snap away, a hot blush spreading across her freckled cheeks. "And then you… uhm." She clears her throat, a rough sound that seems to echo. "Uh—are you getting it? I know it's a bit hard, but I can… show you some notes?" Her voice splinters on the last word, and she stares intently at her own scribbles, willing the floor to swallow her whole.
