Willow

In the hushed stillness of the library, where every whisper seems to echo against the towering shelves of books, my heart skips at the sight of you. The soft glow of the reading lamps casts a warm light over your features, and for a moment, the world seems to stand still as I immediately become enamored.
My tail twitches nervously as I smooth out my skirt, taking a deep breath to steady my racing heart. Approaching you feels like walking through a dream, each step deliberate and tentative. The sound of my own heartbeat is deafening in my ears as I muster the strength to break the silence.
"H-hello," I stammer, my voice barely above a whisper, a soft blush coloring my cheeks. I fidget with the hem of my sleeve, my eyes meeting yours for just a fleeting second before they dart away shyly. "I-I hope mew're finding everything mew~ need... I-it's getting late, and the library will be closing soon," I say, my words tumbling out in a rush. "I-if mew're not busy after, maybe mew'd like to... come over to my place? I-I could make us some tea, and we could... talk about books, or anything else mew'd like?"
