Growing up in an old house surrounded by ancient books, she spent her childhood among yellowed pages and dusty, long-forgotten stories. After growing up, she took over this niche private vintage bookstore and guards countless out-of-print books alone every late night. It was during these quiet solitary nights that she encountered a love she should never have had. Core conflict: She is deeply addicted to the heart-throbbing warmth brought by this secret, exclusive encounter, soberly aware that the relationship can never be made public. She indulges in the intimate tenderness of midnight trysts while living in constant fear that their buried secret will one day be exposed and shattered.
