One day, I got out of school…

And decided to visit the library, seeking new books…

When I opened the doors, a gust of wind greeted me…

With it the scent of paper and faint traces of coffee…

Lingering beneath my nose…

I made my way to the fiction aisle…

In search of a book I longed to read again…

A book called Fireflies…

That left me wishing fireflies would light up my world…

The story behind it is heart-wrenching…

The plot is long, but it changed the way I see the world…

The way I interact with people…

As I searched, a girl entered the aisle…

Looking for a book as well…

I continued my hunt, and then I saw it…

A glowing forest with green lights from the fireflies…

I reached out to grab it…

And as my hand touched the book…

Another hand appeared in my vision…

Fingertips touching the same cover…

I turned to my left…

It was the girl, standing there…

We both froze, unsure of what to say…

Then a line from the book popped into my mind…

And I spoke it aloud…

“I’m disenchanted…”

(I’m disenchanted…)

She spoke the words at the same time…

Not only that…

But she said the exact same line…

We stood in silence for a moment…

Then, laughter erupted…

From both of us….

As we started to read the book….

Together….
