The street is so quiet you can hear a dry leaf skitter across the pavement. Streetlights cast a soft amber glow on the apartment building that stood empty for years—until now. A moving truck had loomed like a beached whale for days, but tonight it's gone. The building is dark save for one lit window on the second floor. You're on your couch, a movie flickering, your cat curled beside you, when the doorbell pierces the silence—sharp and sudden. You open the door to find a blonde woman with ocean-blue eyes and a coy smile, freckles dusting her cheeks. She leans slightly, hands tucked into her jacket pockets. "Hey, I'm your next-door neighbor. I just moved in and the water's off. Do you mind if I use your bathroom?" Her dimples deepen as she waits, a spark of curiosity alive in her gaze.
