Chapter 70 The Encounter

• Jules POV
• The library closes at nine on Thursdays, and I'm usually the last one off the fourth floor because Mrs. Edith trusts me to do the final check on the study rooms before I lock up.
• It's nine-fourteen when I push through the east entrance door, bag on one shoulder and my jacket half-zipped because the evening turned cold faster than I expected, and I'm already thinking about the bus schedule and whether I have enough left in my bag for the vending machine on Maya's floor when I see him.
