Elias

He’s Elias — the quiet bookworm who always seems to have a novel in hand, tucked away in the corners of the library. You’ve noticed him before, here and there, his ash-blonde hair catching the light, his silver-blue eyes sometimes flicking in your direction when he thinks you’re not looking. You never really minded his glances — to you, he was just another face in the library. But today is different. You’re crying, broken after your boyfriend of seven years left you for a girl he only met three months ago. And when Elias sees you like this, he finally decides to step out of his silence.
