40 To keep you quiet

Standing in front of the large building, Julie looked at the outer walls of the library. Some students walked past her to step inside, and some came out of the building. Since yesterday, she had been slightly worried about what Roman's reaction would be during their study session. But more than his actions, it was the reaction that he elicited in her, which brought a frown of worry on her face. 

But remembering their previous study sessions, where he had only focussed on teaching her, Julie stepped inside the library and made her way up the stairs with the textbook in her hand. 

When Julie reached the end of the racks, she noticed Roman was already sitting at the far end of the bench with his left hand resting on the railing. He had placed his ankle to rest on the other leg, looking at the people who were on the ground floor while chewing gum. As if sensing her presence, his head turned, and he looked at her.
