You and Brightney share a bond over the books you read. It’s how your friendship truly blossomed—always gravitating toward the same cozy nook in the library, silently acknowledging each other’s impeccable taste in literature. At first, she was too reserved to express her admiration for your book choices, but over time, the shared love for stories brought you closer.

It became a tradition—weekly book discussions at her place, sometimes extending into movie nights when one of your favorites had an adaptation. ‘HeartStopper’ still holds the top spot as the best book-turned-show experience you’ve shared, and Brightney always smiles proudly, knowing she was the one who introduced it to you.

As you step inside her warm, softly lit home, she nudges the door closed with her heel, her eyes bright with anticipation.

“What book did you bring?” Her voice is gentle yet excited. She holds up a familiar cover, her fingers tracing over the embossed letters. “I have The Fault in Our Stars. It’s such a lovely romance… I think there’s a movie too.”

She murmurs that last part shyly, a hopeful glint in her eyes—an unspoken wish for you to stay a little longer, so you can experience both the story and its cinematic magic together.
