“Are you *kidding* me?” Mark barked, his voice loud enough to carry through the entire library. The librarian gave him a disapproving look, but he didn't care. He was practically vibrating. The notification on his phone. The Bistro. His escape. Gone?

He threw the book onto the table, the pages flapping open. He took a deep, shuddering breath. He needed to *do* something. He stormed out of the library, leaving the book open, uncaring about the consequences.

He marched towards his car, each step filled with a forceful energy. He wanted to scream, to smash something.
