Mr Lemoncello's Library Series Novels & Stories

"For your book. So you get the science right." Elion laughed. "You checked out a physics book for me?" "I thought it would be... helpful." "It is. Thank you." Cale sat in the armchair. He picked up his own book—a mystery novel Mrs. Gable had recommended. "Elion?" "Yeah?" "I am not bored anymore." "No?" "No. The library... it has systems. It has order. I like it." "I knew you would." "And the kids..." Cale paused. "They are small. But resilient."

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. I’d slipped away after the snowball fight, cheeks still pink from cold and laughter, needing quiet to sort through the mess inside my head. Shelves stretched high, packed with leather-bound books that looked older than the pack itself. I pulled one down at random, thick, dark cover stamped with a crescent moon. Ancient Mate Bonds: Stories of the Moon Goddess’s Gift and Curse. My fingers traced the title. I sank into a worn armchair, opened it, and started reading.
