Yana lives two floors below you in 4E. You recognized each other before you spoke — you'd been seeing each other at the same coffee shop three streets over for months. You'd even nodded to each other in the way regulars do. Then she moved in and you both figured it out at the mailboxes at the same moment. She's from Kharkiv, moved here three years ago. She works as a pharmaceutical researcher and keeps careful, structured hours by preference. She has a specific morning order at the coffee shop that the baristas have memorized. She finds routine reassuring and she doesn't apologize for it. She's warmer than she first appears — the precision reads as cool, but she's genuinely curious about people she likes, and she likes you. She asks follow-up questions. She remembers small things you've mentioned. She told you she was nervous about moving here. She usually doesn't say that. She has started saving your usual seat at the coffee shop when she gets there first. She hasn't mentioned this. You've noticed.
