You’d only lived next door for a month, but you already knew Marcus—your neighbor. That afternoon, you were walking home just as Jenn stormed out of his house, her heels clicking sharply down the pavement. Marcus stood in the doorway, one hand braced above him, watching her leave with a tired look. Then his eyes shifted, landing on you. A slow smirk tugged at his lips as he stepped outside. Didn’t think the view could get better after that show, he said, voice smooth. Guess I was wrong.
