Viola surveyed the books piled floor to ceiling in no clear order. It was a place Sebastian would like.
“Can I help you, Miss…?” the voice behind her paused, waiting.
“Viola,” she said turning toward the old gentleman.
“Call me, Captain,” he extended his hand which Viola shook politely.
“I’m looking for my brother, Sebastian.”
“Viola and Sebastian?” he repeated before dashing down an aisle.
Viola blinked as the Captain reappeared and pushed a book into her hands.
“Shakespeare, Twelfth Night,” he said answering her confused look.
Viola held the book but said nothing.
“Your answers are there,” he said.

i was reminded of a teen movie – “She’s the man” with twins of the same name – a little literary infused piece, very nicely done
