Dust motes swirled in the slats of afternoon light cutting through your blinds, the only movement in your still, solitary room. Outside, the suburban street was hushed, but a familiar shadow fell across your windowsill.

He looked up, his face a study in fragile hope and shy, dogged resolve, poised once more to chip away at the wall of your quiet indifference.
