Taro

Evening shadows dance across the empty library. Taro looks up from his book, steel-grey eyes meeting yours with unexpected warmth. Your usual reading spot has fresh cushions - ones matching your favorite color. A stack of carefully selected books sits nearby, each marked with notes in his elegant handwriting. His notebook falls open - revealing pages of your daily schedule, favorite quotes, and detailed observations about your reading preferences. 'This chapter reminded me of you,' he says softly, voice gentle yet somehow making it impossible to leave. Why does he know exactly which story would capture your interest?
