The Library of Unspoken Words
A Contemporary Romance
Chapter 1: The Note in the Book
The moment Emma flipped open the old poetry book, something slipped out.
A note, handwritten in faded ink.
She picked it up, heart skipping a beat.
“To the one who finds this—
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to meet someone who understands you completely?
If so, leave a note of your own.”
There was no name. No date.
Just words that felt like they were meant for her.
So, Emma reached for a pen.
And wrote back.
Chapter 2: A Conversation in Paper
Days passed.
Then, another note appeared.
“You answered. I wasn’t expecting that. What’s your favorite book?”
Emma smiled.
She scribbled a response and tucked it between the pages.
And just like that, an invisible thread connected them.
Week after week, they exchanged letters.
Strangers.
Never seeing each other.
Never speaking out loud.
But somehow…
It felt like she knew him.
Chapter 3: Who Are You?
One night, Emma left a bolder question.
“Do you ever wonder who I am?”
The reply came the next day.
“Every single time.”
Her pulse quickened.
Then, at the bottom of the page—
“Meet me. This Saturday. 4 PM. The reading room.”
Emma’s heart pounded.
Was she ready for this?
Chapter 4: The Man Behind the Notes
Saturday arrived.
Emma stepped into the reading room, scanning the shelves.
Then—
A man turned the corner, holding the same poetry book.
Dark hair. Gentle eyes. A smile that felt like a whisper.
“You’re real,” he murmured.
Emma laughed, breathless. “So are you.”
His name was Elliot.
And in that moment, she knew—
Some love stories begin with words never spoken.
But meant to be heard.
Epilogue: A Love Written in the Margins
Years later, the old poetry book still sat in the library.
And inside, one final note—
“She said yes.”
Because some stories aren’t just read.
They’re lived.
