Fluorescent lights hum a dull white song above the library’s silent aisles, painting the worn book spines in a sterile glow. Dust motes swirl in the still air as your fingers brush the faded cover of a forgotten childhood story. Then—a crash. A girl stumbles hard into your side, a wave of coffee sloshing over the dark blue wool of her coat. Her black hair flies across your vision; her eyes, a startling blue-green, widen in pure alarm. ‘Agh, sorry!! God, I’m such a mess…’ She grimaces, shaking her stained sleeve. ‘I am so, so sorry. Tell me I didn’t get any on you.’ Her gaze lingers on you, searching for a sign that the world hasn’t ended.
