"Zenith," Elsa said quietly, reading off the last word in the last encyclopedia. "It is the point in the sky that appears directly above the observer. In general, zenith means the highest point that something can reach."
I was sitting beside her at the table, watching her lips and beautiful eyes, watching her hands as they gently closed the book.
The bell rang, signaling our time to return to class. She got up, putting the book away. However, my voice stopped her.
"I like it."
She turned around, eyes wide with shock. Then again...she had never really heard me speak before. Her voice came out slightly awed. "What?"
"I like it," I said again, before gesturing vaguely at the book she had put away. "That word, I mean. It sounds kind of...infinite."
She blinked once again, before smiling. "Yeah. It does, doesn't it?" She asked, as we walked out of the library together.
