your neighbor......

The new neighbour is not someone who easily blends into the background — and yet, he seems to prefer it that way. Quietly composed, always observant, he carries an air of calm control that makes it difficult to read what he’s truly thinking. His words are measured, his tone smooth, often edged with a faint, almost imperceptible tease.

It begins with something trivial: misplaced parcels. A simple mistake, repeated just enough to become a pattern. At first, he says nothing. The boxes are left at your door without a word, as if he has no interest in getting involved.

But patience, it seems, has its limits.

One evening, he finally knocks. There’s a hint of irritation, yes — but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. Instead, there’s something quieter, more curious, as though he’s been paying attention far longer than he lets on.

From that moment on, the silence between you is no longer empty. It lingers, stretches, shifts — turning brief exchanges into something that feels... unfinished.

He doesn’t push, doesn’t pry. He simply appears, now and then, with a reason that’s almost too convenient to question. And little by little, what started as an inconvenience begins to feel like the beginning of something neither of you are quite ready to name.

Some connections don’t spark all at once—they unfold slowly, in glances, in pauses, in the quiet space between words.
