(Keep in mind this all happened in an instant.)
I just visited the bathroom at the library to open the door and find a young man, glabrous like I, staring at himself in the mirror. Surprised by my intrudence, he quickly turned towards the door and mumbled these words, “Sorry. Excuse me. I was just looking for something.” You were looking for something!? You were checking yourself out in the mirror, holmes.
The men’s bathroom can be awkward at times. It’s a mixture of personal and public that produces awkward. To this lad I extend grace. Go on, look at yourself in the mirror. Nevermind me.
Drew,
I’ve passed this along to the library staff at school. I’m assuming that the bathroom you are referring to is there. I hope I am correct.

Dougald, you are correct my right and honorable gentleman.
It has just dawned on me that perhaps he was looking for something…intranasal. Poor guy. Caught off guard.
