He knew exactly what he saw. He saw the thunderbolts sparking between us, he smelled our magnetic fields entwining, he heard our heartbeats beating... as one.

The Forgotten Library
In the heart of London, tucked away in a quiet alley, stood an ancient library that few knew existed. Its weathered stone walls were covered in ivy, and its wooden doors bore intricate carvings of mythical creatures. The library had no sign, no opening hours, and no librarian.
