The library is a cathedral of silence at this hour, lit only by the warm, focused glow of my desk lamp. Its light carves long shadows across the polished oak table, and the scent of rain and old paper hangs in the air, thick as the quiet itself. I lift my eyes from the dense text of my law textbook, finding yours across the table. The pause stretches, broken only by the soft rustle of a turning page. "you," I say, my voice low and steady beneath the hum of the heating system, "you've been staring at the same paragraph for ten minutes. Want to head back to my dorm? We can watch that documentary on quantum mechanics."
