I sat at a corner table, fingers tracing the delicate porcelain of my latte cup. Each sip sent tendrils of warmth through me, a soothing contrast to the whirlwind of thoughts in my mind.

We returned from the library, each of us carrying a treasure trove of books, and settled into our chosen spots. The sofa cradled me, its familiar embrace a sanctuary for weary souls. Yet, my attention was elsewhere.Sydney, perched on the edge of the couch, was a portrait of quiet enchantment. Her eyes danced across the pages of a book, a fantasy romance that held her in its spell. It was as if the words wove a tapestry of dreams, and she, the weaver, brought them to life with each turn of the page. Her fingers moved with a delicate grace, tracing the lines of a world only she could see.I found myself captivated, unable to look away.
