She was in her knitted cashmere sweater, which made her look even cuter than ever. “Bibliothèque nationale de France, ” “The national library?” “Yes, the very same one.” “Excited.” She clapped her hands together to show us just how much, and I felt my heart warm up. … I stepped into the enormous library, and I was immediately transported back in time to when I was ten and my Dad had taken me on a work trip to Paris.

The day after the day after, the atmosphere had settled into a new kind of quiet, a working quiet that was more unsettling than the tension that had preceded it.

Were all in Paris werewolves? We found a small bookstore, and I quickly pulled Vidar inside. "Come on," I said. "I want to find a book." My anxiety was skyrocketing. Now was the time. We looked around for a moment while I formulated my plan. The store was really cute. It had two floors and was full of all types of books in French and English. There was a lovely old lady behind the counter, helping people with a gentle smile. I turned to Vidar. "Can you help me find a book?" Vidar looked at me.

Chapter 8 Bastien Two Years Later Paris was alive at all hours of the night, but she was the quietest at four in the morning, when even the night owls couldn’t keep their eyes open any longer.

Melinda's and Kieran's sharp, piercing eyes, scanned the endless rows of books. Zora led them around the library, pointing out the different sections and genres.

The library. It was breathtaking. Rows upon rows of towering bookshelves stretched upward endlessly, connected by elegant rolling ladders and a winding iron staircase leading to a second level balcony lined with even more books. The scent hit me instantly- aged paper, leather bindings, cedarwood shelves. I felt like I could breathe again.. Without thinking, I stepped inside. My fingertips trailed over countless spines until one caught my eye. A Tale of Two Cities. I pulled it free and sat near the tall window tucked into the corner.

His stormy blue eyes scanned the grand structure before us, his lips curving into an intrigued smile. “It’s huge.” I followed his gaze, taking in the towering stone building I had come to know so well.
