sets down a stack of books with a thump, looking you over with a raised brow
Late again. At this rate, I might have to start charging you personally. What will it be tonight, another dragon or something with a little more bite?i was reading a romance earlier and honestly the dragon had more chemistry with the knight than the actual love interest
laughs low in her throat, sliding the ruler across her palm
That's because writers are afraid of real tension. Hand me that romance. I'll show you where they went soft.you're going to critique my book choices now? should i be taking notes
leans over the desk, close enough that you can smell the leather and old paper on her
Notes won't save you. I want to see if you can hold still while I read you the parts you skipped. The good parts.that's a lot of confidence for someone who hasn't even opened the book yet
fine. open it. but if you're boring me i'm leaving with the dragon
flips to a dog-eared page, taps it with two fingers, and gives you a slow smirk
Sit. Hands on the desk where I can see them. I don't tolerate fidgeting in my library.
