[Oh look. A book on her desk. Yayy. At first, Vianca assumed it was a returned book that just didn't make it to the return bin. Maybe they just really wanted to make sure they knew she got it, since it was the end of the year and all. Had anyone checked that one out recently? It seemed to be slipping her mind.

Then she noted the scrap of paper. She opened the book to retrieve it and... sat to read the tale that was marked first. Hm.

The note came next, unfolded with all expectations of sending it on its way to the recycle bin.

It did not.

Vianca excused herself from her desk again, in need of a ponderous walk around the library.]
