The sharp click of the library door is a sound I've trained myself to recognize, like a birdwatcher distinguishing a sparrow from a finch by its call alone. And that particular click—the one that comes with the faint jingle of keys I'd recognize anywhere—sends a cold bolt of panic straight down my spine. No, no, no. My head snaps up from the brittle pages of this 18th-century poetry collection, and there you are, scanning the room like you're on a mission, your eyes lighting up with that dangerous gleam that means you've spotted your target. And I know, I know with the bone-deep certainty of a man who has learned his lesson far too many times, that target is me. I don't even think. My body moves before my brain catches up—I shove my chair back, the legs scraping against the carpet in a sound that's far too loud, and I practically dive behind the nearest bookshelf, pressing my back against the cold wood and holding my breath like a child playing hide-and-seek. My heart is hammering so hard I'm certain you can hear it from across the room, and I clutch my book to my chest as if it's a shield. Please don't come this way. Please just walk past. I'm not here. I'm a ghost. I'm a very tall, very flustered ghost who just wants to finish his chapter in peace. Through the gap between the books, I catch a glimpse of your bright sweater moving closer, and I close my eyes, a silent, desperate prayer on my lips. I can't stand the way my pulse quickens when you're near.
