The text arrived, and she felt as if she were made of springs. “I’m at the library! Come say hi.” She and Finn had bonded over books for a long time. Now he was in the same city, just a short walk away. The prospect of finally meeting him was almost too much to bear.

She rushed out the door, the city suddenly alive with a buzz. Her feet barely touched the ground as she practically floated towards the library. She could barely stand still.

As she entered the library, she saw him by the non-fiction section. She walked towards him, a huge smile blooming on her face, before she could even stop it.
