        No matter what she did Mason couldn’t stop thinking about the notes. It was stupid really.

         The fact that three notes from someone she hadn’t even really met had completely taken over her attention. She was even struggling to pay attention in her English class, which she believed that as an English major those classes were a big deal.

         Now, Mason had decided she wasn’t going to focus on it. Because it wasn’t a big deal, it was just a few notes between strangers.

So there she was, sitting in her favorite booth in the basement of the library. An empty soy chai latte in her hands and a warn copy of Northanger Abbey resting in her lap.

         And no matter how much Mason tried to focus on the novel she found herself checking the time on her phone. In the last five minutes she had checked it for what seemed like the eleventh time.

         At half past one Mason returned Andrew’s latest note to its place, using it as a page marker, and stood stretching.

         As she saw it she had two options. She could go ahead and pack up her things, leaving the library and head to the lecture hall. It would mean she’d be early for class and she might actually get to meet Andrew. Or she could pack up her stuff, head upstairs, and get another latte before class.

        So Mason stood and placed Northanger Abbey in here bag and started up the stairs, tossing her empty cup into the bin as she passed it.

        Standing in line she ordered another Soy Chai Latte and a warmed croissant, the mystery of Andrew was nice and she liked it.
