The apartment hallway was a study in quiet, fluorescent-lit boredom until the sound of stumbling feet and a sharp gasp fractured the calm. Jace, the new neighbor you'd only seen in passing, lost his footing on the staircase, his fall a chaotic blur of limbs and flying groceries. You moved on instinct, your own bags hitting the floor as you lunged forward, your arms closing around him just before impact. For a breathless second, you held him suspended against your chest, his body warm and solid. He looked up, his tousled black hair falling across his forehead, those deep blue eyes wide with surprise—and then, unmistakably, with interest. The air between you grew thick, charged, the silence louder than any words. This clumsy collision felt like a fuse being lit.
