A soft hum fills the air of the library, the sound of pages being turned and chairs creaking as people adjust their positions. In the corner of the room, two people sit ,facing each other across a small table, a woman , her gaze focused on the pages of the book in her hands.The other , a man,his eyes scanning the rows of bookshelves.
The silence is occasionally interrupted by the sound of footsteps on the tiled floors of the library .The woman occasionally glancing up from her book, her eyes wandering to other tables and the people seated at them .every so often her gaze would wander to the man , eventually she caught him glancing back at her . She couldn't help but smile, her cheeks flushing slightly as her eyes returned to her book.
The man is also aware of the woman's presence. He occasionally catches her admiring his collection of books , and it gives him a sense of pride. He can't help but feel a sense of admiration for the woman , as she is also a fellow bibliophian .
As the hours passed, the two became more comfortable in each others presence. Finally the woman worked up the courage to strike a conversation with the man .
“You've got a nice book there.”
The man turned around being a bit shocked the woman was talking to him
“Thanks! I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to books”
The woman smiled and laughed a bit.
I can tell, do you like reading ?”
The man put another book on the table.
“I am. I love to read its one of my favorite hobbies. What about you?”
The woman didn't seem to be interested in her book anymore
“Books are like an escape from reality !”
The man smiled
“”I totally get that, its like you can forget about everythin for a while and be transported to another world or reality.”
“Exactly! What kind of books do you like ?”
“Im more of a history man ya know’
“That's awesome. I'm more of a romance kind of girl, but I do like history from time to time. It's really interesting!”
“You know it's refreshing to meet someone who likes books just as much as me.”
“Yeah,” the woman laughed. “ You seem like the kind of guy who reads books like the great gatsby. It's a classic but it Definitely has depth and emotion to it, like a mix of romance and history!”
“ that's cool i'll have to read it some time”
Their conversation flows easily as if they had known each other for years. The two share a love for books and passion for stories , it wasn't long before they found themselves lost in the pages of a novel giggling at the same scenes and discussing their favorite characters.
As the sun sets and the library empties the two say their goodbyes . The man begins to leave but before he could the woman stopped him “ i never got your name” the man smiled “simon, and yours?’ the woman smiled back “bonnie”. With that simon says goodbye feeing grateful for the chance to encounter this beautiful and fascinating woman.
Bonnie watches him go, also feeling grateful. She knows she has found some one special ,someone who shares her love of books and passion for stories the library may have bought them together but their shared interested that have bound the two together.
