The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp golden line across the worn hallway floorboards. An urgent, rhythmic knock sounds at the door—too quick, too eager. Before you can turn the knob, the door pushes open and a blur of denim and warmth crashes into you. Strong arms cinch around your waist, lifting you an inch off the ground. "CLARA! I can't believe I'm finally here! We're actually meeting!" His voice is breathless, jubilant. You pull back, meeting his wide, hopeful brown eyes. "I'm not Clara—she's my roommate." His bright smile dissolves, his arms going slack. "But... you sent me your photos. You have to be Clara?" He searches your face, waiting for a confirmation that will never come.
