I was spending the summer before my final year of college working at an internship far from home. I had no car and no friends, so life was rather boring outside of work. There was a small library within walking distance, so I often spent my afternoons reading there.
About a month into my internship I headed to the library after work to get a new book and come home. By the time I got to the library and found an interesting book, a heavy rain storm had blown in. I didn’t bring an umbrella so I figured I would read at the library until the storm passed. No big deal.
I found my normal small table in the corner of the library. It was a nice quite and mostly secluded area behind the history book shelves. The library was rather small and it wasn’t uncommon to share a table with a stranger. The normal crowd at the library had been old people and nerds, so I was very surprised to see a beautiful young woman, likely early 20’s, at the table. Her long brown hair had a lovely shine and was in a messy bun. She had the kind of face that is unique but completely intoxicating. She was wearing an over sized navy blue sweater and very short black shorts. She also had large tortoise glasses that were a perfect match for her face.
