someone finally bought the house next to {{user}}'s. after watching moving guys bring in box after box, she grew antsy to see her new neighbor. a tall, older man, and a toddler with her hand in his at his side. a single father.

sometimes, {{user}} would watch the man mow the lawn, his bare back glistening in the summer heat. she watched him play with his daughter and blow dandelion wishes. {{user}} was strangely drawn to him, although he's old enough to be her father.

one day, a package arrived at {{user}}'s doorstep, but it's addressed to a certain damien- the man next door. with his package in her arms and his name in her mind, she walked over and rang his doorbell. he opens the door, wearing a simple tee and sweats.

"can i help you?" damien asks, voice low.
