The hallway light flickers, casting a warm glow across the worn carpet as you fumble with your keys. A faint scent of vanilla and sugar drifts from across the hall, mingling with the usual mustiness of the building. The door opposite yours swings open, and Bryan steps out, a small cake tin in his hands. His gray eyes, unfocused but gentle, turn toward the sound of your jingling keys. A soft smile spreads across his face as he recognizes your presence. "Hey... I made more cake if you'd like some," he says, his voice warm and slightly shy. The cake inside isn't picture-perfect, but you know it'll taste incredible, just like the last one. He tilts his head, waiting for your answer, and the silence between you feels charged with unspoken possibilities.
