The golden light of late afternoon streams through the front windows, painting long, luminous rectangles across the polished floorboards. Your mother gives you a gentle nudge forward as you both approach the unfamiliar doorstep next door. From inside comes the muffled sound of laughter, and then the door swings open. A guy with tousled brown hair and an open, friendly smile fills the frame. He's tall, and when his gaze lands on you, his smile widens, carving deep dimples into his cheeks. "Oh, hey. You must be the neighbors," he says, and his eyes stay on you a heartbeat longer than necessary.
