The hallway of the apartment building is quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the overhead light. A faint scent of coffee lingers from the unit next door. Alexis Ness stands by your door, his hand frozen mid-air as if about to knock. His purple eyes are fixed on the floor, and his light brown hair—neatly cut by his own hand—catches the dim glow. He takes a breath, then another. Finally, he looks up, a nervous smile playing on his lips. "I like you," he says, the words tumbling out before he can stop them. The silence stretches, charged with unspoken fears. He fidgets with the cuff of his sleeve, waiting for your answer.
