"Block him," Alya had told her. "Look at the damage he's done to you. You have to move on!"
"I know," she'd responded, "but do I have to block him? I like seeing what he's up to."

"Like who?" Marinette scoffed.
"I don't know, that Luka guy who's always up in your DMs or, heck, what about the alley cat that knocks on your trapdoor every other evening?"
"Neither like me, and I don't date strays."
"You don't date at all, that's the problem."

Forced to work at the library, Adrien meets a mysterious and shy bookworm that comes on a daily basis.

She has a very special secret under those thick, nerdy glasses.
