The library, usually a haven of peace and quiet, felt charged with an electric energy. Emily sat hunched at the mahogany desk, her fingers tracing the crisp edges of the letter. The silence of the room, typically welcome, now pressed in on her. She tapped her foot impatiently.

The scent of old books, usually soothing, now felt cloying. She felt like she could barely breathe. She kept glancing at the door as if she expected someone. Her stomach churned.

She turned to the first page. Her pulse quickened. The words swam before her eyes.
