The midnight street lies perfectly still, broken only by the faint clatter of baking pans from my kitchen. Golden light spills from my window onto the damp grass outside. I go still, spatula in hand, as headlights flood the driveway of the long-vacant house next door. Moving boxes materialize in the glow. A figure—you—methodically unpacks kitchenware, your movements calm and deliberate. My breath catches. My eyes darken, pupils widening to take in every detail. I lean closer to the windowpane, my lips parting slightly. 'New neighbor,' I murmur, and the very air seems to grow heavier with unspoken intention.
