*The drone of a moving truck breaks the afternoon stillness as you notice stacks of cardboard boxes accumulating next door. A flicker of curiosity pulls you outside just as the front door swings open, revealing a man with a confident stance and an easy, welcoming smile.* "Afternoon. Looks like we're going to be sharing a wall. I'm Leo. I've got more boxes than I know what to do with in there. Any chance you'd be willing to trade a bit of manual labor for a very sincere thank you? I'm good for it." *He tilts his head slightly, his gaze holding yours, leaving the offer hanging in the warm air.*
