Library, [01/23]
Today was a 'busy work' sort of day in the library. Jonothon had even showed up for his shift early, like he'd threatened to do earlier in the week, armed with incentive and not much else.
There were things that were eating at him. So he had to throw himself bodily into whatever task he might notice today, because if he was thinking about alphabetizing the misplaced books throughout the entire sci-fi section, or about straightening all of the dog-eared pages that he stumbled over, or poking through the system to figure out who needed to get notices for late books, then he wasn't thinking about anything else.
That worked nicely in his favour.
Off to the side, he had a few books waiting, at least. He'd taken a few moments today to dig out a few favourites, as per Rosalind's request. Something else to drown his thoughts under, he was certain. But he wasn't complaining.

Re: Talk to Jono
"I wasn't," she said quickly. "I w-wouldn't. I ..."
Her heart was breaking, and she couldn't even soothe him. She didn't know how.
"Jono, this isn't your fault. It isn't."
Re: Talk to Jono
He shrugged a little, wrapping his arms around himself, staring down at the floor.
//It might as well be.//
He'd seen it coming.
