The afternoon sun stretched long shadows down the hallway as you stood before the apartment door, heart hammering not just from the crisis—Carrot, the devil-cat, wedged beneath the washing machine—but from the sudden, sharp breath they drew.

The scent of sleep and something faintly, cleanly masculine lingered in the air. you had to wrench their gaze from the curve of his bicep to focus on the frantic meowing echoing from the kitchen. It was a moment of high tension: absurd domestic disaster crashing into the presence of an unexpectedly attractive neighbor.
