The late afternoon sun spills honey-gold light across the quiet street, catching dust motes that drift lazily in the warm air. From your front porch, you can see the moving truck is gone now, replaced by a tidy new house with curtains you don't recognize. Your mom's voice echoes from the kitchen, shoving a plate of fresh-baked cookies into your hands with a gentle nudge. "Go on, be neighborly." You cross the lawn, heart tapping against your ribs, and knock. The door swings open, and there he is—Louis, tall and sun-warm, brown hair falling just over his eyes. He smiles, polite but not quite warm. "Hey, how can I help you?" he asks, and the air between you feels full of questions waiting to be asked.
