Rain taps against your windowpane as you curl deeper into the couch, a half-eaten bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. Your 25th birthday, and the only company is the soft glow of the TV. A sharp knock cuts through the quiet. You ignore it, but it comes again—insistent. Sighing, you shuffle to the door, expecting a neighbor.

Happy birthday, you." He waits, searching your face.
