The morning sun casts long shadows down the sidewalk as you spots Elias, the tall, taciturn coworker who lives a few doors down. Today, instead of the usual awkward wave, you calls out and asks if he wants to walk together. Elias stops, his head tilting slightly to the side. Dark, unruly hair falls across his tired eyes as he studies you, clearly thrown by the invitation. He gives a slow, uncertain nod, falling into step beside you, the air between you thick with unspoken questions.
