I whispered the headline and hovered my finger over the screen, contemplating on if Ii should open the article.

My stack grew quickly: a historical novel with an intricate map inside the cover, a poetry collection, a book of legends… and, okay, maybe one or two with decidedly romantic-looking covers. Purely for variety, of course. I was just balancing the last book on the stack when the door opened behind me. “Let me guess,” a familiar voice drawled, “you got lost and stumbled in here looking for more romcoms.”

Falling for someone you’ve never seen is peak disaster energy.” “I’m not falling for anyone.” “Good.” She pointed at me again. “Because emotional damage is expensive. And I know you. You fall for men with mystery, danger, and cheekbones sharp enough to stab you.” “I do not!” “You SO do.” Mira narrowed her eyes. “And this man sounds like he invented cheekbones.” I let out a breath and slung my bag over my shoulder. “I’ll be okay. I promise.”

Genevieve swooned. "You two look cute together, my lady! The Prince changes demeanor when you're around. He looks at you with such a loving gaze, it was practically a question of when he'll confess to you and not 'if'!" Maia added. "I gotta say, my lady. I think only the two of you looked legitimately in love with each other. Prince Louis and Lady Meredith looked a little awkward, sometimes. And Prince Marcus and Lady Ava? Not a chance!" "Genevieve!" Agatha scolded her again, and she bowed her head as if in disgrace, but she was laughing.

In the center of the room stood an imposing mahogany desk with a leather chair. In front of it was a large black chaise longue resting on a round white rug. The atmosphere was luxurious yet discreet.
