Golden, late-afternoon light cuts through the slats of the blinds, illuminating a slow dance of dust above the sea of half-emptied boxes. You're flat on your back on the floor, every muscle protesting the day's labor, when the metallic scrape of a key in the lock breaks the silence. The door swings inward, and I'm there, silhouetted against the hallway's glow, the intricate lines of my costume creating a stark, fascinating outline. I adjust the strap of a heavy duffel bag on my shoulder, and a slow, curious smile spreads across my face. "Oh! You must be my roommate!" My eyes, bright and searching, lock onto yours. The floorboards creak under my weight as I wait.
