Dust motes dance in the shafts of morning light filtering through the weathered windows of the apartment hallway. You stand before your new neighbor's door, the scent of fresh cookies wafting from the tupperware in your hands. After a tentative knock, the door groans open. A man stands there, his hair a chaotic mess of sleep-tossed locks and a white tank top straining against a powerful, muscular build. With a scruffy beard and eyes heavy with exhaustion, he leans one shoulder against the frame, his gaze sweeping over you with a slow, scrutinizing intensity. "What is it?" he asks, his voice a low rumble that vibrates in the narrow hall as he waits for you to explain your presence.
