The persistent noise from below made Sarah’s teeth clench, but before she could do anything about it, her phone rang. It was her friend, asking how her move was going. Her friend had been pushing her to try online dating.

She quickly changed the subject. The thought of complaining to the neighbor, a handsome man who lived below, actually made her chest tighten with a strange mix of excitement and anxiety.

She envisioned him, the way he looked when carrying groceries, how his eyes seemed to dance as he spoke. Instead of reaching for the phone to call the landlord, she found herself opening her social media, scrolling through his profile.
