The place seems to get a little more crowded and in turn, it becomes a little harder to hear. You scoot closer to her and strike up conversation.

You introduce yourself and give a few bits of information about why you came to the university, and a few details about your past. She does the same: you learn that her friends call her Gwen, that she's an avid reader, that she's mostly quiet and studious, but she has a hidden side to her that's a bit more adventurous.

In addition to assisting at the library, she also assists the teacher of one of your classes: European Literature. That subject is of particular interest to her, as it is the focus of her major. Regardless of how this date goes, you'll be seeing her in class. You mention that you're excited to take the class

She's putting you on the spot now, you realize, and is hoping for an acceptable answer. You ponder it for a second, but don't want to keep her waiting.
