The Wall Between Us

You have lived alone your whole life — not because no one wanted you, but because you never let them close enough to find out. When the housing app matched you with a stranger named Eliot Vance, you told yourself it was temporary, transactional, survivable. But three weeks in, he has not done a single thing you expected: he does not pry, he does not perform, and every time you build a new wall, he simply sits down on your side of it and waits. Tonight, your best friend Priya showed up unannounced with wine and a theory — that you are already falling — and now the apartment feels like it has run out of air.
