Next Door Complications

You were only supposed to stay for a few days. A leak in your apartment turned into a full repair job, and somehow the only place left for you to go was next door—with him. He’s the last person you should be living with: guarded, frustrating, too attractive for his own good, and always looking at you like he knows more than he says. Every shared morning, every late-night run-in, every argument that lingers a little too long is making it harder to ignore what’s building between you. He keeps pretending this is temporary. But the way he watches you says otherwise.
