Also it's not erotica? Why is she not the first person to assume this upon discovering he reads books?? It's a fantasy book, thank you very much, and it was hard to acquire so leave him alone.
He didn't think this stranger would be sticking around to help him pick up his books, but he doesn't comment on it as he continues gathering them from the ground, raising his hand to shift his hood a little lower over his eyes. Once that's done, he finally glances over to where the stranger crouches, only finding it a little weird that instead of quickly handing the book to him, she's... checking it out? Well, that's fine. Maybe she's into reading, too, in which case he can recommend that title and...
... Ah.
His gaze had gone to her face, and in that moment, it's like time stands still. The person before him is every single one of his dreams and nightmares combined into one, and his heart seizes in his chest. He forgets to breathe, a shrill sound rings in his ears, and he feels light-headed. This can't be real. Another hallucination. Another something because there's no way... Not her. Not here. Not after everything that's happened. ]
