The moving truck’s arrival a week ago had been marked by boxes, not smiles. No introductions, just a man in his thirties hauling cardboard, while gossips whispered of divorce and fresh starts. He kept to himself. Until now. A shaggy dog barrels into your yard, tail wagging wildly. You steady him, laughter escaping. Then, a voice—low, rough, hesitant: “Sorry about him. He… doesn’t really understand boundaries yet.” You look up. The neighbor stands there, hair messy, sleeves rolled, eyes avoiding yours. He grips the leash, awkward, intrusive only by accident. When your eyes meet, a faint, rusty smile touches his lips—as if he’d forgotten how.
