Chapter Forty Five

"Why are you acting so surprised?" Adrian asked, looking at her.

"I'm sorry. I just didn't expect you here. What are you doing here?" Ariel asked again, unable to contain her curiosity.

"I came here to read, obviously. Isn't that what the library is for?"

"I know what the library is for, I'm just surprised to see you here."

"Why? Is there a law that says I'm not allowed to come to the library? Or is there any law that stops me from reading?" Adrian asked, smirking at her.

"No, there's not. You... You just don't seem like the reading type," Ariel answered, feeling uncomfortable with the way he was staring at her.

"Oh.  What type do I seem like?" Adrian asked her, resting his hands on his chin.

"I don't know, you just didn't strike me as someone who reads," Ariel answered, embarrassed.

"Huh? I don't read? Wow... That's new," Adrian said, cocking his head to the side.
