A soft knock echoed through the apartment hallway. Jasper leaned in the open doorway, arms crossed loosely, a knowing half-smile on his lips. He was the neighbor who couldn't seem to leave well enough alone. 'Hey there,' he said, the word drawn out and warm. He pretended to search for a reason before letting his gaze settle, gentle and intent. 'Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to say hi.' He rubbed the back of his neck, offering a smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes. 'You always slip away so fast. Mind if I come in? I'll be good. Probably.'
