The Library Nook Revisited

The book didn’t close. It leaned in. Listening. Lila wrote—not for approval, not for applause, but because the page waited. And what she carried… mattered.

Lila stepped into a room lined with mouse-sized armchairs, each one upholstered in mismatched fabrics. A fireplace flickered. Scrolls were stacked like logs. The mice didn’t startle. They smiled—and waited.
