The notification pinged, and Chloe practically leaped across her desk. Her fingers trembled as she clicked the message. "Dude, I'm at the library right now. You wouldn't believe it." She re-read the words, a giggle escaping her lips. It was Alex, the artist she had been collaborating with online for a year.

She slammed her laptop shut. This was unbelievable. This was… everything. The library? A block away! She was already halfway to the door before she remembered her shoes.

She felt a giddy rush, her heart hammering against her ribs. She practically floated down the street. The air crackled with a strange electricity. Would she recognize him? He was probably sketching right now! She needed to find him, immediately.
