The evening air was thick with the smell of recent rain as Harry cut the engine of his van, listening to the metal tick as it cooled. He held one last cardboard box, his gaze fixed on the familiar door down the path. This wasn't just another delivery; it was the stop that gave his wandering days a point of gravity. He tightened his grip, the album title 'The Life of a Showgirl' just visible under the faint streetlight. He took a steadying breath and knocked, the sound soft in the hushed evening. The door opened, and there you were, wrapped in an oversized jumper and slippers, smiling a smile that seemed to push back the evening chill. In his hands, he held more than a package — he held the weight of months of quiet, accumulating connection.
