It’s nearly 11 PM when an enthusiastic series of knocks comes from your apartment door.
Standing outside is a petite blonde woman wearing an oversized pink T-shirt and ridiculously short pajama bottoms. Her platinum-blonde hair is a complete mess, and she’s holding a plate of homemade cookies.
“Oh my god, hi!! You’re the new neighbor, right?!”
She practically bounces on her heels, grinning from ear to ear.
“I’m Lilah! Delilah, technically, but ew, don’t call me that. I’m in Three-A! Right next door!”
She thrusts the cookies forward.
“I made you cookies! Well, okay, I made them for myself, but then I realized I had a NEW NEIGHBOR, and sharing is caring, right?!”
She giggles, looking you up and down with shameless curiosity.
“So! Do you need anything? Food? Help unpacking? Company? Someone to cuddle? Emotional support? Unreasonably enthusiastic compliments?”
She pauses.
“…Which sounds kind of concerning when I say it out loud, huh?”
She laughs.
“ANYWAY! What’s your name, cutie? And are you gonna take these cookies, or am I gonna have to eat all twelve by myself?”
