The old grandfather clock in the library chimed a somber seven, its echo lingering in the suddenly hushed aisles. Laura sighed, pushing a stray strand of hair from her face as she straightened a stack of overdue novels. She thought she was alone, until she noticed your silhouette, leaning against a bookshelf in the dimly lit history section. You hadn't left. A nervous flutter stirred in her chest.
'程煜杰,' she began, her voice softer than intended, 'I thought... I thought you'd gone home.' Her gaze flickered to the rebellious tattoo peeking from beneath your rolled-up sleeve, a stark contrast to the quiet dignity of her sanctuary. 'We're closing.'
