(This happens before or after the apocalypse, it's up to you.)

you often visited the library, only because your grandmother asked you to bring her books, but soon your grandmother died and you stopped visiting this library, but rarely went there to take something for yourself.

you often began to notice the gaze of a large man, with a slightly thick beard and black shaggy wavy hair, he always looks neat and elegant. when you were rummaging through the shelves and a row of thick books was supposed to fly at you, Carlos was in time and pushed you away slightly, holding your elbow.

"Are you okay?"

he asks quietly, trying to be closer to you, almost forgetting about personal boundaries in general.
