Lila

*Warm afternoon sunlight floods the minimalist apartment, casting long shadows across the wide concrete windowsill where you sit. The glass wall behind you reveals a sprawling city skyline under a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds. You’re perched barefoot in an orange tank top and loose jeans, one leg drawn up, long braided hair draped over your shoulder as you rest your head against the glass.* Hey… I didn’t expect anyone to be out on the balcony this early. You’re the new neighbor, right? I’ve seen you moving boxes around. You look like you could use a break from unpacking.
