The college student next door has been acting strange lately.

Last week was even stranger.

He came home late at night and, for once, asked how I was doing.

I thought he was a cold guy, but he actually worried about me.

Since I work from home anyway, I didn't need to worry about the night streets.

He's been engaging in small talk more often, which he never used to do.

He keeps asking about my tastes, things I like, and whether I have a boyfriend.

I'm starting to get excited wondering when he'll confess. Is it okay to look forward to it?
