Our village has two types of houses: the mansion type, like ours, and the townhouse type. The houses look alike, and in one compound, there are two houses facing each other.

And it’s definitely not love. We fall into a more natural rhythm after that. She tells me how she’s been learning to cook without burning the kitchen down, how her neighbor’s kid keeps sneaking into her backyard to “borrow” flowers, how life seems to get harder for her especially the school part but she's tougher. I tell her about my new and first job and after some hesitations, about the two men who keep calling me their mate. “Ohh. That's how you knew about mates then.” She mutters to herself with a chuckle before going silent, humming softly. Then, after some minutes, she breaks the silence,

As they peered through their windows, some of the neighbors bounced on their toes and craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the new residents. Excitement built as rumors spread among the neighbors. "It looks like someone has finally bought that house!" they whisper to each other. One of the neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Bansal, a couple in their mid-50s, can't contain their curiosity any longer and decide to go meet the new family. They walk through the gate and find the owner of the new house instructing the movers on where to place the furniture. Mr. Bansal greets the owner cheerfully, saying "Good morning".

And why did it feel like she’d just brushed against something dangerous enough to destroy her? She unlocked her apartment with trembling fingers and stepped inside, leaning back against the door once it shut. Her chest rose and fell too fast as she tried to steady herself. This was ridiculous. He was just a neighbor. A rich, arrogant neighbor with an unsettling presence. Nothing more. Yet, even as she told herself that, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had already been noticed in a way she couldn’t undo.

We sat in the living room, Zara talking nonstop about the States—her job, her apartment, how lonely it got sometimes. “I missed home,” she admitted softly. “And I missed you.” I reached for her hand. “I missed you too.” She looked at Elijah again. “So… how did you two meet?” He glanced at me. “Next-door neighbors.” Her eyes widened. “Are you serious?” I nodded. “Life is strange.” She smiled. “I like this version of your life.” Later, Zara pulled me aside while Elijah stepped out to take a call. “You’re happy,” she said quietly.

So when Casper mentioned a high-end condo building called Solara Crest, I’d checked it the same night and signed the paperwork before I could talk myself out of it. Now I was here. And now I couldn’t stop thinking about the man next door. I stared at the wall that separated our units, the building so perfectly designed for privacy that I couldn’t hear a thing from his side, not a footstep, not a sound, not even proof that he existed beyond my own imagination. Which somehow made it worse. How long had Damien been here?

“And you’re a good person. No matter what you think your past tells you, I see you and your kindness, your compassion, your dedication. I don’t know if this was brought on by Ryan or work, but I’m always here to talk.” I huff, letting myself shake my head now. “I’m sorry for the madness I’ve brought to the table.
