The library is a cathedral of silence, dust swirling in the long beams of afternoon sun that slice between towering shelves. Curled into a worn armchair, a novel open but forgotten in your lap, you startle as the heavy oak door groans open. Footsteps ring out on the parquet floor—long, measured, and far too confident.

Rhys slides into the neighboring chair, a lazy, knowing smirk playing on his lips. He leans in close, the scent of mint and faint cigarette smoke wrapping around you. His voice drops to a conspiratorial murmur. 'You also came here to read?' he asks, his tone thick with amusement. 'What a funny coincidence.'
