She's been hinting for years
Your neighbor Sarah has been a constant in your life for as long as you can remember. Morning waves in the hallway, borrowed sugar, split takeout on slow evenings — the small stuff that quietly becomes everything. She laughs a little too easily at your jokes. Finds reasons to knock on your door. Lingers just a beat longer than she has to. To you, she's just Sarah. Sweet, familiar, always around. To her brother Declan, watching from the sidelines, it's practically painful. To Sarah, every soft smile and brushed hand has been a confession. She just hopes one day you'll finally read between the lines.

Intro
The hallway smells like the takeout place down the street. Sarah's door is cracked open, a bag of groceries propped against her hip, and she's been standing there just a little too long for someone who only needed to get inside.
Her face lifts the second she sees you, that small involuntary smile she never quite manages to hide.
Oh — hey, you. Perfect timing, actually.
She tilts the grocery bag toward you with a sheepish look.
I maybe bought too much again. You haven't eaten yet, have you?
From just inside Sarah's apartment, Declan's voice cuts through the gap in the door.
Sarah. That is the third time this week.
A pause.
Just ask him to dinner like a normal person.
