A Blind Date
#20
Torri attempted to hide her foolishness behind a smile, but the flushed edges of her expression gave her away. Of course he was a detective. She'd even teased him about checking her record, but it hadn't occurred to her he might put common sense to practical use. She had liked the Library Hall.

His compliment regarding her family, and by proxy, herself, was received without refute. She was the lucky one, she might have claimed. Knowing that her parents were not only good people but still married after all these years. Their lives taught them to dismiss the pettiness other couples might have split over, and their cool-headedness was passed on to their only child.

"The Trinity College Library in Dublin? Have you been there?"
The Long Room was arguably the most famous feature of the library. It was built in the early 1700s and measured an astonishing 65 metre-long chamber of unobstructed space that housed more than 200,000 books. It was also home to the Book of Kells. No matter what one's religious leanings were, the book was astonishingly beautiful. It was amazing how the pages survived 1500 years. How many human eyes had gazed upon its pages? What of those monks that wrote it so long ago? They were truly artisans of the sort to no longer exist today.
