He’d asked for help – literally. “GuitarHeroGuy” had posted on their shared online forum about needing a roommate, as he had just moved to their city. Seeing his post, a wave of... something... overcame her. She had gotten to know him pretty well online over the past year. He seemed... great.

She messaged him immediately, offering her help. She had always enjoyed his company. She was already set with her apartment, but she could definitely meet up with him, and show him around.

They met at a local pub. She spotted him, guitar case resting against the bar, looking a little overwhelmed. She greeted him with a grin and a friendly wave. "Hey, it's nice to finally meet you! I'm ready to play tour guide." He looked up, his expression shifting from stressed to relieved.
