He offers a thin, closed-mouth smile that doesn't soften the sharp assessment in his gaze. 'Ah, greetings,' he says, his voice a smooth, low tenor. 'I'm your new neighbor. Whatever you're cooking smells absolutely divine.' He leans one shoulder against your doorframe, waiting, watching you. What do you do?
