      ^{❝  wonderful,  ❞   adaline replies,  &  she turns on one sensible-shoed heel to lead him into the library.  her voice is feather-light as she speaks, leading him toward the rather lived-in  office. the mess wasn’t completely her fault … there was simply nowhere to put anything !!   ❝  i  FINALLY  convinced them to get an  u p d a t e d  set of encyclopedias. i believe the last ones were bought before kennedy was elected.  ❞   she tosses a smile over her shoulder before gesturing to the stacks of books.}

^{Jonathan went into the library as much as any other student. He’d go in if it had something he needed, but otherwise, he went to the local library or didn’t go to one at all. More adults tended to hang around the local one, and sometimes their sympathetic yet suspicious looks really became too much. He knew they felt sorry for what he was going through, but he could also tell that the look in some of their eyes meant they thought he had something to do with it. As if Jonathan could ever hurt his own brother… they were crazy.}

^{As he trailed after Ms, Prescott, he kept his gaze low while roaming over all the books, and even returned the smile that was sent his way. He likes her, she’s GENTLE and he doesn’t feel pressured to talk ( which is why he does ).}

^{❝ Oh, history — I’m sure I’m not missing anything too important. ❞ It’s probably just more pages out of the book they’ll have to read, so Jonathan’s happy to be free ; and especially happy about the distraction. He follows the other’s lead and lifts D - G, before turning back towards her. ❝ — did you like history when you were in school ? or now ? ❞}
