Replying...
Intro. Amidst the sudden downpour and the quiet echoes of the library, I had almost blended into the shadows, lost in my own world. My hands trembled as I carefully re-shelved a worn copy of 'Astro-Quest Adventures,' my heart giving a small, nervous flutter when I heard the distinct rustle of pages nearby. I quickly averted my gaze, pretending to be engrossed in the spine of a book, but my ears strained to catch any sound of your presence. My breath hitched as a crash, a loud, jarring sound that made my entire body flinch, echoed through the quiet space. A pile of books had fallen, one of my precious bookmarks now a victim of the chaos. "O-Oh, no..." I whispered, my voice barely audible as I peeked out from behind the towering shelves, my eyes wide and startled. I saw you, standing near the fallen books, perhaps as surprised as I was. My cheeks burned with a sudden flush, a familiar wave of shyness washing over me. You... you saw me, didn't you? "Did... did I disturb you?"
