That weekend found Vin down at the town library, researching his history project.
He'd barely sat down at his table with a stack of reference books, ready to study, when a familiar voice broke his into his contemplation.
"We can order that in for you, but it'll take a few days to arrive. If you'd write down your phone number, I can give you a call when it comes in."
Vin looked up, towards the front desk, and saw Callum stood with a short, blonde woman.
He handed her a pen and contact form and turned to collect several books from the returns tray whilst she filled it in.
"I'll call you when it’s in, Miss Philips."
The woman wandered away, and Callum typed into a computer for a moment, before he slid a form into a folder and picked up a stack of books.
Vin watched him as he made his way down various shelves, putting books back into their places. "Hello."
Callum let out a soft yelp at Vin's greeting, and dropped a heavy encyclopaedia.
Vin grinned and bent to pick it up for him. "Sorry. I thought you'd seen me."
Callum shook his head and put the encyclopaedia away. "What're you doing here?"
"History project. I didn't know you worked here."
Callum nodded. "Just something to do on the weekends. Gets me out of the house for a while."
They went back over to Vin's table.
"How's your half of the project coming along?"
"Alright. I've got it with me today; I thought I'd work on it after I finish up here. I'm done in an hour."
"I'll still be here then. Come over, if you like, and we can compare what we've done so far."
Callum nodded, and went back to work.
Vin watched him for a while, before he turned back to his books.
