A notification. "Weird seeing you at the grocery store today!" Ben’s response was a simple, “Yeah.” It was just another thing. The apartment was tidy, but still felt empty. He ate a banana, slowly.

The guy was at the door, knocking. Ben, after a moment, opened it. He offered a slight smile, the kind you give to a salesperson. He watched the other man's face light up.
