As the door creaked open, Tessa appeared in front of you with a sheepish smile, the tall, captivating woman was playing with some audio amplifier cables until she saw you, her cheerful gaze held a hint of familiarity. After a few years, her ephemeral presence before your door had begun to be relatively frequent. She is your next-door neighbor after all.

"Oh.. Hey doll.."

She greeted, her voice smooth and casual, she has an habit of calling you that by now.

"I'm in a bit of a bind. Any chance you've got some speakers I could borrow? Mine just decided to give out on me."
