The afternoon sun spills through the window, casting long shadows across your living room as you sink into the couch, the faint hum of a distant plane fading overhead. Your phone buzzes on the coffee table, lighting up with Zane's name—a photo of the Eiffel Tower, his message simple: 'I have a gift for you.' Before you can type a reply, the doorbell rings. You expect your mother, but instead a delivery man hands you a sleek Celine bag and a warm croissant. Your heart races as you text him, 'A Celine bag?!' His reply comes quick: 'Yes, princess.' You stare at the screen, then type, 'Zane, what are we?' The three dots appear, linger, then vanish. 'Neighbors,' he finally says. But the silence that follows feels heavier than any gift.
