Noble Library Hours Novels & Stories

I got a text from Kenji asking if I wanted to grab ramen at a new Japanese restaurant that opened nearby, but before I could reply, a notification from an unknown number popped up. The library. Third floor, North Wing. 5:30 PM. Don't be late, Cinder. My heart skipped a beat. The North Wing was the old section of the library—dimly lit, filled with towering shelves of rare law texts, and usually deserted after hours. I sent a quick lie to Kenji: Got stuck at the lab. Don’t wait up.

After our final class for the day, I head for the library, more than ready to take on my shift for the evening. I need to stay busy. And, with exams drawing close, the library stays open until midnight for students to get in their study sessions without any interruption. Unless you insult a particular ghost that vacates the space. I haven’t seen Tilly for a hot minute, nor think about her—not until I enter the library and see Luca deep in a conversation with Dibella, right by the front desk.
