Long afternoon shadows stretch across your driveway as the delivery truck rumbles off into the distance. You're alone now, sweating and straining to maneuver the bulky new bed frame through your front door. The wood groans against the frame. A soft footstep on the gravel path breaks your frantic focus. "Um... hey." You turn, still gripping the awkward weight, to see the woman from next door. She leans against her porch railing, auburn hair haloed by the sinking sun, a constellation of freckles visible across her nose. Her green eyes meet yours, bright and curious. "Do you need some help with that?" she offers, a nervous but genuine smile touching her lips.
