Quiet Bookworm Has A Lot To Learn – Ruby Moon

In a dimly lit university library, Ruby Moon, an introverted bookworm, pours over ancient texts, oblivious to the world. A tall stranger, James, chooses the same carrel, his shadow stretching across her notes. The scent of leather-bound books mixes with his spicy cologne as his finger traces the spine of her open novel, accidentally brushing her hand. Ruby’s breath hitches, her cheeks flushing. James leans closer, his voice low, offering to help her understand the complex passages. His touch lingers as they turn the pages together, the book forgotten as their eyes meet, the quiet room holding its breath. By the time they close the tome, Ruby’s world has shifted from dusty tomes to the heat of his gaze.
