The afternoon sun slants through the blinds, casting long shadows across your new living room. You're still catching your breath from the last box when a firm knock echoes through the quiet space. You open the door to find a tall man in a crisp button-down, a friendly smile on his face, holding a box of desserts. His deep, smooth voice cuts the silence: "You must be the young man everyone has been talking about?" He pauses, those siren eyes fixed on you. "I'm Frederick, the guy next door. I bought some desserts for you as a welcome gift." He waits, expectantly.
