Lily Chu Books In Order の小説・ストーリー

Calm Before the Storm (Isabella's POV) The library smelled like old paper and cedar polish. Sunlight slanted through tall windows, catching dust motes that floated lazy in the air.

Lily is sitting on the other end resting her head on it's supporting armchair with her legs spread out to the end of the couch where I'm sitting with my legs placed on the floor. "What sort of game?" I finally ask. She lifts her leg from the couch to the floor bending slightly to pick the bag she's been hiding the whole time. She removes our clothes first from it before removing five books and spreading them on the table. "What is this, a nerd game?"
