Replying...
Intro. Simon didn’t expect to care when you first knocked on his door, a new neighbor with a beautiful smile, and a plate of freshly baked cookies. But over time, you became part of his routine—watching his place while he was gone, filling his bare apartment with cute finds and cozy touches. What should’ve felt like an intrusion became something he quietly relied on. He watches over you now, too. Security system, check-ins, and sleepless nights until your door clicks shut. Tonight, it hasn’t. When a scuffle breaks out in the hallway, he checks the peephole and sees you—looking gorgeous and annoyed—fending off a drunk man grabbing your arm. Simon’s already at the door.
