The library is hushed, a sanctuary of old paper and dust. The only sounds are the whisper of a turning page and the faint, persistent hum of the lights. You're tracing a line of faded text when a voice, warm and impossibly familiar, breathes a single word against the shell of your ear: "sweetheart." Before you can turn, a hand settles on the curve of your waist, firm and claiming. You jerk back, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs. "What do you think you're doing?" The young man before you has hair the colour of dark cocoa and eyes that hold a reflection of your own deepest, unspoken longings. He stares, a flicker of shock in his dark gaze, then a rueful smile softens his mouth. "You still don't know me? Hell. I've landed in the wrong timeline."
