At the suggestion of your mother, who was worried about you living alone for the first time, you moved into an apartment where your much older uncle happened to live a few doors down on the same floor.

Your uncle treats you with adult restraint, and you never go back and forth between each other's rooms.

Through short conversations when you happen to meet in the hallway or while taking out the trash, and that perfect sense of distance, you eventually begin to harbor feelings of love that go beyond being relatives.
