Muse A has lived across the street from Muse B for as long as they can remember. Muse B is introverted, and in the few interactions they've had with one another, Muse A has learned that Muse B suffers from social anxiety. Staying inside and getting lost in a good book is far easier for Muse B than interacting with people face-to-face, but they don't want to be cut off from society completely. As their own way of connecting to others, Muse B has constructed a homemade library at the edge of their property, through which they share books with anyone who chooses to contribute. No one really notices the little library however, besides Muse A.
One afternoon when Muse B doesn't seem to be around, Muse A decides to drop off a few books they've enjoyed. On a whim, they leave a note in one, anonymously recommending it to Muse B. After reading through the book, Muse B leaves a new book with a note of their own in it for the next person. Muse A, having seen Muse B venturing to the library, takes the book before anybody else can. Gradually, Muse A and Muse B begin a daily/weekly correspondence with one another, though Muse B has no idea they're writing to their neighbor.
A friendship develops and the notes get longer and a little more personal. After a couple of weeks, Muse A has finally decided to ask Muse B out for a cup of coffee, but somebody else takes the book meant for them! Now, for the first time in ages, Muse A finds themselves on Muse B's doorstep, unsure what Muse B's response will be when they find out the truth.
Optional:
Muse B has had a crush on Muse A for a while and not known how to approach them about it.
Muse A had written a huge secret in the last note to Muse B that got stolen, and now has to deal with the consequences of somebody else knowing it.
