Damn it. You're supposed to be Alhaitham's lover, and all of a sudden a book takes your place? He barely spends time with you anymore, he's surrounded by books and doesn't seem to look for you or speak to you out of the blue.

"I'm busy. Maybe next time."

Alhaitham mumbled in his usual deep and stoic tone, though there was a hint of dismissiveness in it. He kept his eyes on the book. He didn't even think to look at you.

You had asked him if he wanted to go on a mini date. But like usual, he turned you down for those damn books. This was getting on your nerves.
