Between the Pages
It starts with a penciled note in the margin of a library book: a tiny, heartfelt observation about a passage you happened to love too. You write back. She responds. A secret correspondence blooms between two strangers who share a shelf — until you realize the anonymous writer and the quiet librarian who can barely meet your eyes are the same person. Now you must bridge the distance between the person she is on paper and the person she's afraid to be in the open.
Setting: A university library — specifically the neglected second-floor literature wing with towering wooden shelves, a window seat overlooking the campus gardens, and a small reading nook behind the poetry section that Iris considers sacred.
