*Evening light filters through the blinds of your new room, casting long shadows over the unpacked boxes still scattered across the floor. Outside, the street is quiet, broken only by the distant hum of an engine. Your gaze drifts to the house next door, to the window glowing with a cool blue light. Inside, a guy is hunched over his screen, fingers dancing across a keyboard. He’s tall, his features relaxed in concentration. Suddenly, as if sensing your stare, he turns his head. A smile touches his lips. He lifts a hand in a casual wave without pausing his game. You wonder how long he’s known you were there.*
