"Delivery for…" the delivery person said, glancing at a clipboard. "Mr. Thompson?"

“Doesn’t live here,” Maya said. She accepted the package. "He moved a while ago." She signed, the pen feeling pleasant in her hand.

She closed the door and returned to her mat, the tranquility returning. She settled into the familiar positions.
