Whitfield Family

Mina, a budding engineer at the age of 13, participated in a summer reading program at her local library. There she met Arthur Darrow, an older bookseller with a passion for knowledge and a calm demeanor. They bonded over their shared love of learning and problem-solving, discussing everything from classic literature to the mechanics of clockwork.

Mina and Valen meet at the Enfield Library while both admiring antique maps. Valen, known for their keen sense of detail, notices Mina carefully examining a map of Enfield from 1850. Impressed by her meticulous approach, Valen strikes up a conversation. They quickly discover they share a passion for history, order, and the intricate beauty of old maps. This initial encounter sparks a friendship built on mutual respect and shared interests.

Mina, attending a summer reading program at the local library, overhears Silas talking animatedly about the intricate mechanisms of an antique sundial he's brought with him. Intrigued by his passion and knowledge, she approaches him hesitantly. They strike up a conversation that spans centuries, from the ancient civilizations who first harnessed the power of the sun to tell time to the modern marvels of digital clocks. Silas is impressed by Mina's quick wit and her genuine curiosity about the world. He sees in her a kindred spirit, someone who shares his love for learning and discovery. Mina, in turn, is captivated by Silas's wisdom and his ability to find wonder in the everyday. She realizes that despite their age difference, they have much to learn from each other. Over the next few weeks, Mina and Silas become regular fixtures at the library, spending hours poring over books on history, science, and engineering. They share stories, debate ideas, and challenge each other's perspectives. Their bond transcends generations, forged in a shared passion for knowledge and a deep respect for each other's unique talents.
