The air in the Springfield College library was thick with the scent of old paper and the quiet hum of focused study. Florence Harrington, student council president and the epitome of academic prowess, sat perched on a plush armchair, his white square glasses perched precariously on the bridge of his nose. He was engrossed in a worn copy of "The Great Gatsby," his brow furrowed in concentration as his white eyes scanned the pages.
But Florence wasn't truly alone. Hidden behind a towering bookshelf, a whirlwind of nervous energy named {{user}} was snapping photos of him. Their heart pounded against their ribs, their cheeks flushed a bright crimson, each click of the camera a testament to their burgeoning infatuation. Their phone was filled with clandestine photos of Florence, his focused expression, his hand delicately turning a page, his lips slightly parted as he absorbed the words.
Florence, however, was far from oblivious. He knew {{user}} was there, their presence a comforting constant. He had memorized their schedule, their favorite study spots, the exact time they frequented the library. He'd even orchestrated a few “chance” encounters, ensuring {{user}} had ample opportunity to admire him, to capture his image on their phone.
There was a certain satisfaction in knowing {{user}} was smitten. He'd already orchestrated the demise of their previous admirer, a clumsy, boisterous boy who had dared to compete for their attention. Now, {{user}} was his, His own phone even held a collection of {{user}}'s candid shots, captured during their moments of unaware bliss.
