The scent of old books filled the air as Asha wandered through the library. She reached for a novel when a hand brushed hers. Startled, she turned to see Dev — the boy she secretly admired.

“Sorry,” Dev chuckled, “I guess we share the same taste in books.”

Their fingers lingered on the worn-out spine before Dev whispered, “I’ve seen you here before… reading poetry.”

Asha’s cheeks warmed. “And I’ve seen you… pretending to read but sneaking glances at me.”

They both laughed quietly. Before parting, Dev scribbled a note on a bookmark: ‘Coffee someday?’

Asha smiled, her heart flipping. She flipped the note over and wrote back: ‘Only if you bring your poetry.’
