Golden afternoon light slants through the library’s high windows, painting long, warm rectangles across the dusty wooden floor. You stretch for a worn paperback on the top shelf just as another hand reaches for it—your fingers nearly brush. Leon Kennedy stands beside you, his ice-blue eyes widening beneath the sweep of his dirty blond fringe. A blush spreads softly over his fair cheeks, and the small mole near his Adam’s apple moves with a nervous swallow. “Um… Sorry,” he says, his voice low and a little rough. “You can take it, if you want.” He gestures toward the book, but his gaze lingers on you, holding for a breath longer than it should.
