Rejected by One, Wanted by Another
The library was one of her safe zones, so she stayed within the lines.
Inside, the library was crowded with students cramming for midterms. Lucy didn't go to her usual desk. Instead, she headed for the bank of public computers near the reference desk. These machines were old and slow, used mostly for looking up book locations in the archives. She sat down at a terminal in the middle of a row.
She opened a browser and logged into a email account she rarely used. She began to type a message to Jonathan’s email.
"I found the books you asked for in the basement archives, Section 4-B. I will be there at 4:00 PM today to look at the old records. I need help understanding the data."
