When Philip complimented his collection, he couldn't help but beam. This library was his absolute pride and joy, in much the same way as Philip would see his kitchen and the food that came out of it. And it was in that moment, in a sudden awakening, that Harper finally realised why he enjoyed seeing Philip so often. Why he was so happy that Philip liked his library. And why he was watching his fingers trace along the spines of the books.

He was sure that Philip felt the same. After all, why would he be cooking for him so often? And, as Harper looked back on flashes of the times they had spent together, Philip had certainly been more flirtatious than Harper had. How could he have not noticed it all before now? "Thank you so much Philip. This library is my pride and joy." he said as he moved a few steps closer to Philip, resting his hand on the bookshelf in front of where Philip was standing.
