"Atticus?" He looked up from the table. I was standing in the doorway of the back office.
"Yes, Grace?"
"What was it that you needed to tell me yesterday?"
"Oh, yes! That!" He stood up and walked over to the filing cabinets.
Atticus was about 10 years older than me. He loved this job just about as much as I did. He was just now starting to work more hours again though. He had lost his wife in the spring. He'd taken some time off and was easing back into it. I felt really bad for him. I couldn't imagine loosing someone I loved like that.
"I was going through new applications yesterday and I wanted your opinion on one." I was surprised. I thought that it would've been something more important.
"Oh okay." I took the file. "Jamie Nance. I'll look it over and let you know what I think."
"Great! Thanks so much." Atticus gave me a weak smile before returning to his seat.
I left the office with the file in my hand. I set it down on the front desk. I took off my jacket, placing it on the back of my chair. Once I was settled, I began reading.
"I told you that I could come alone," a male's voice said. I looked over and saw two people walking in. One of them was Spencer. He was with some woman. They were both wearing business-type clothes.
"Why didn't you want me to come here with you?"
"Cause this is one of the only places I have outside of work! I know I do a pretty good job of seeming like the job doesn't get to me, but it does sometimes. That's why I need separate places. I don't like those two worlds colliding, okay?" Spencer looked around like he didn't want anyone hearing this. Too bad it was a large, almost empty room that had an echo. I felt bad for eavesdropping, but I wasn't really doing it on purpose.

"I'm sorry, Spence." The woman put a hand on his shoulder. "I know how that is. It's a tough job and it's good to have an escape. But, if this place actually has something that'll help us, then you can't search it all by yourself."
"I know," he sighed. He leaned closer to her and spoke quieter so I couldn't hear anymore. After he pulled back, she nodded. "Let's go." They began walking towards me and I tried to look busy.
"Hey, Spencer!" I said once they reached me. "Who's your friend?"
"Hello, Grace. This is Jennifer. We work together."
"It's nice to meet you," I said, holding out a hand. She shook it and nodded. "What can I help you find today?"
"We need to know where we can find any information on ancient weaponry." I cocked a brow at Jennifer.
"How ancient?"
"Medieval Times?" she said, more as a question. I didn't even have to look it up. I had middle schoolers asking about it for school projects all the time.
"There are two sections you can look at. Aisle 10 on the right will have general knowledge and aisle 15 on the right will have more hefty information. Those are our bigger and older books."
"Got it! Thank you," Spencer said.
"No problem! I hope you guys find what you're looking for." They walked away and I was left confused. What could their job possibly be? They said that this was for work. Who needs to read about medieval weapons for work?
I could hear murmuring from the aisles but no words that I could make out. I just kept myself preoccupied with organizing the returned books from the day.
My attention was peaked again when I heard rustling. I looked over to see Jennifer rush to Spencer's side. She looked down at what he was pointing out with a solemn gaze. She took out her phone and snapped a picture of the page. Spencer began putting away all the books that they had taken out while Jennifer made a phone call. She stepped outside for privacy. I decided to help Spencer clean.

He looked up at me with a smile as I approached him. "Thanks," he said as I bent down to grab the remaining books.
"Don't mention it. Did you find what you guys were looking for?"
"We did! Thank you. Your help was much appreciated."
"Well, it is my job after all," I stated, brushing some hair behind my ear. "I'm glad to help. You guys have a nice rest of your day."
Spencer shot me one last smile before exiting the library. I watched him talking with Jennifer through the window for a moment. He squinted in the sunlight.
I sighed before turning away from my little fascination. I wanted to laugh at myself. Why was I so attracted to this wonderful young doctor? I barely even knew him. I just knew that he was cute, kind, Well-read, and mysterious. He seemed like the romantic interest in some cheesy novel I had read before.
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the file. The name seemed familiar to me but I couldn't put my finger on where I knew it from. I just shrugged it off. His credentials were good enough. He had 3 more references than the required 2. That was a good sign. He had worked at his college's library for the past 3 years. He seemed like a good guy for the job.

8 169The Reincarnated Heroine Runs from the Plot
If you were to be reincarnated as the heroine of an otome game, what would you do?If it was me… I would be too embarrassed! Knowing the romantic stuff that is going to happen to you is seriously too embarrassing! But, thinking again, I would be a completely different person from the original heroine so unless I was good actor, even if I trigger an event, it wouldn’t go as in the game. Really, the heroine is many times so naive, how could a corrupted girl like me pretend to be like that? If I could act… aaah nononono my face is flushing already…With such circular thoughts I stand at the door of the magical academy.Having reincarnated as the heroine of the otome game ‘Captive Hearts ~for you only~’ I interact with troublesome ladies, unnamed characters and the dreadful capture characters, all the while avoiding flags and worrying about the lack of adult material on libraries.“She is so innocent. I must protect her!”…What?

Or will these boys be each other's destruction? Don't forget to add in a bunch of friends, jealous love interests, bullies and some strange happenings and you get their typical day of high school.....THE SEQUEL 'STILL BREATHING' IS OUT NOW!_____________________________________________________________________________"Oml I love this book so much thank you for making it...it's incredible ☺️" - yazmen98"I read this in just a day and was captivated by the storyline. This must be in the hidden gems collection " -3ndlesslove"This was, by far, the best one I've read. It just resonated with me when it came to Noah's POV. It wasn't something that just magically came together. It took time and effort for them to get to where they are, and I respect that. It taught me more about how to look at things so thanks a lot for making this book. I meant a lot to me. I will definitely read the sequel and your other books" - Generik_Jay
