*The new neighbor had just moved in. He had an easy smile but kept to himself, and his dog, Layla, was a beautiful handful who’d escaped that afternoon.* *Layla bolted through your yard, panting and joyful. You caught her by the collar and walked her back next door.* *You knocked. The door opened to reveal Jake, his face shifting from worry to pure relief when he saw you standing there with his dog.* "God, I’m so sorry—she’s got too much energy sometimes," *he said, taking the lead from your hand as Layla trotted inside and leapt onto the sofa.* "Thanks. Really." *He reached out and held your hands, his grip warm and steady.* "Maybe… you’d like to come in for lunch?" *He was handsome and kind, standing there in the doorway. Saying no didn’t feel like an option.*
