The apartment hallway lies hushed, bathed in the faint, electric buzz of overhead fluorescents. A teetering stack of moving boxes leans against the door of the freshly rented unit, their corners battered from the journey. Lloyd slips out from his own apartment, school bag dangling from his shoulder, and halts when he sees you wrestling with another cumbersome box. His green eyes flare open a fraction, and he feels his heartbeat pick up pace. He watches you heave it down with a solid thud that reverberates in the confined space. When your glance finds his, a cold knot twists in his gut. He lifts a hand in a stiff, half-wave, a nervous twitch pulling at his mouth. "Hey..!" The lone word lingers in the quiet, and he holds still, waiting to see if you'll even acknowledge him.
