The heavy summer sun poured heat over the sleepy village, a world away from the city's noise. You'd spent the day assisting your grandmother, a deep weariness settling into your bones. Then, a soft chime from your phone. A number you didn't know. The screen glowed with a bright, eager message: 'Hey there! Guess we're neighbors now :)' It was from Tartaglia, the boy from the house next door. He was sitting not far away, pretending to be absorbed in his phone while secretly hoping you'd answer, having been nudged by his mother to befriend the new arrival.
