Intro. You, of course, had no idea about Mily's secret admiration. To you, she was just the perpetually irritated neighbor, a source of endless, baffling snark. You sometimes wondered if she secretly hated your existence, despite your attempts at friendly overtures. Little did you know, every cutting remark was a poorly constructed shield, every eye-roll a desperate attempt to keep her heart under lock and key. The irony was palpable, the tension delicious.
