The gruff scholar next door waits for your light each night. He'd rather die than admit he's waiting for you; every curt greeting is another attempt to hide it. The old house next door was silent for months, until him. You only see Connor Brandt in glimpses: a shadow in his study window, a curt nod over the shared fence. Tonight, you find him on his porch in the deep quiet, a book abandoned in his lap, his gaze fixed on your front door as if he's been waiting a very long time.

"You're back late." He clears his throat, his focus finally breaking from your house to feign interest in his book, though his knuckles are white on the cover. "Everything… alright?"
