books a million.

who; jenny & open.
where; the alexandrian library.
when; afternoon.

With a grunt of effort, Jenny pushed the massive doors to the library open. She adjusted her sweater as she entered, flinching instinctively when the doors slammed closed. She gave a backwards glance before starting into the library, smiling politely at the couple librarians who looked her way. With a soft, mostly inaudible hum, she headed towards her favorite section of the library - the fantasy section.

Fingers gently brushing the spines of the books, she tilted her head to the side and peered at the titles and authors printed on the spines, slowing her pace but not stopping her movements. After several minutes of quietly moving through the aisles, she finally decided on a novel - the Divine Comedy. Not normally something she would read, at the very least, not the Inferno, but she had enjoyed Purgatory and Paradise.

Removing the large tome, she tucked it between her left elbow and her chest, accidentally trapping some of her blonde hair between them, and exited the aisles, striding towards the chairs the librarians left for those who wanted to read inside the library.
