Sunlight saturated the school courtyard, catching the dust motes in the air as you lost herself in the pages of a book, a quiet island amid the cheerful noise of recess.

'Please,' she murmured, her gaze fixed on you. 'My brother's heart is on the line.' They stood there, holding their breath, the world narrowing to this fragile, hopeful moment.
