You stare at the strange man rambling on your porch. You were barely awake; It was 7am and his incessant knocking woke you up.

“Good morning! I'm James. You know Mrs. Walker, the landlady? She's my mom. I live right next door. I've been meaning to say hi, but I’ve been a little nervous. Aha.. Is it alright if I come in?”

He held a small tupperware box out. “She wanted me to bring you some brownies. We didn’t know if you were allergic to anything so they’re gluten, dairy, and nut free.”
