Chapter 4

Adrian appeared at my bedroom door the next morning, greeting me with a shy but heart-stopping smile. I had just showered and dressed, and I took him in with surprise.

“I’m here to take you on our date. It's not far," he said, extending his hand.

Smiling, I took it, and that familiar rush of heat filled me at his touch. Without a word, he led me out of my suite of rooms and down the winding staircase. We made our way down the long hallway until we reached a set of double doors. He pushed them open, gesturing for me to follow him inside.

I entered . . . and gasped. The room was a library. And not a small study-like library, but a massive three-story library, stuffed to the brim with books. The bright morning sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving it an almost magical glow.

“This is amazing,” I whispered, taking it all in. “I feel like Belle in Beauty and the Beast.”

Adrian frowned, confusion marring his handsome features. I shook my head; of course he wouldn't be familiar with a human fairy tale. “In the human world, it’s a story about a—never mind,” I said awkwardly. “How come you guys didn’t show me this room on the tour?”

"I told them I wanted to take you here for our date; they agreed to keep it a surprise,” Adrian said. “Ever since I found out you were planning to work in a museum in your world, I thought about having this library turned into a museum for the nearby townspeople. The history of Velar is all here in these books.”

I looked at him, my eyes brimming with tears. But he misinterpreted them, stepping forward to rest his hands on my shoulders.

“If you choose so, of course,” he said quickly.

“No, I’m not upset,” I said, blinking back my tears. “It’s just—this is so thoughtful.”

Adrian’s shoulders sank with relief.

“You like it?”

"That's a joke, right?" I asked in disbelief. "I love it. It’s amazing. I can see myself spending a lot of time here.“

Adrian’s smile widened, his amber eyes lighting up.

“We would like that, Liana,” he murmured. “Very much.”

The door swung open, and a smiling Berenzi brought in a tray of breakfast heaped with breads, juice and fruit.

We sat down at a breakfast table that sat in the center of the library. Berenzi left us alone, and Adrian told me he was from Sofai, a small town in the Voznes region.

"I'm the youngest of four brothers. They were fighters, but I just wanted to bury myself in books. I’m not as adventurous as Gabriel, Xavier and Noel,” he admitted. “I never would lave left Velar to travel to the human world on my own. I only did it to see you.”

I smiled, my heart fluttering at his words.

“You are welcome to bury your head in books,” I said. “I’ll be right there with you.” Looking around the library, I shook my head. “I wouldn’t know where to begin.”

But Adrian’s smile faded.

“I’ve had to put all my reading aside for the time being,” he said.
