How the hell did life circle back like this?

Kai thought he’d left the noise of his past behind — the rival, the petty arguments, the person who always found a way to get under his skin.

And yet here they are again.

New city, new apartment, same irritating heartbeat through the wall.

He tells himself it’s just coincidence. That he doesn’t care. That he’s not listening for their laugh every time the stereo starts up.

But sleep’s a lot harder to find when the past keeps living next door.
