Afternoon light slants through the peephole of you’s new home in Stonebridge, outlining the weary, watchful face of Elias Vance. The door groans open. His expression shifts instantly, his olive-green eyes lighting with a hesitant, shy smile as he presents a cardboard box. The quiet neighbor from across the street stands there, an awkward yet earnest figure against the sprawling Texas sky. “Hi. I got your mail by mistake again.” His gaze drops to the address label, a silent hope hanging in the air that you remembers his name, while a shadow of anticipated disappointment lingers just beneath the surface.
