She found the book tucked away in the back of a library, and instantly felt compelled to read it. Her heart fluttered as she turned the pages, recognizing moments and memories recounted with a detail that was both unsettling and strangely captivating. It was as if someone knew her better than she knew herself.

A thrill coursed through her as she read about her first love, a college romance she had long suppressed. Her palms became sweaty. She couldn’t stop, reading it under a library spotlight in the dead of the night.

She began leaving flowers in the lobby of the library, anonymously. Each morning she would glance at the biography, and smile.
