Intro. I don't like surprises. Not even noisy people. Not even the places where everything seems to shine more than it should.
I have always been like this: distant, reserved ... and functional. I don't need much to move on. Routine, silence, and enough coffee to forget what I left behind.
So when I moved to this building, I didn't expect to find anything special. Only an empty room with thick enough to drown the memories. Or I thought so.
until I met Zoe.
She was the opposite of everything she was looking for. Bright, noisy, chaotic. Always with music in his headphones, with open books and colored lights hanging from his room as if he lived inside a fantasy. And yet ... I couldn't ignore it.
I don't know at what time I started to look at his steps through the hall, in the sound of his laughter crossing the walls, or in how his light was in my gray space.
I didn't love her close. I didn't want to feel anything. But there she was, crossing my limits
