Jack Weldon’s life is an island of tranquility. His apartment is minimalist, his routines are precise, and his solitude is intentional. He thrives on the quiet predictability of his world.
But when a wave of chaotic joy explodes from the apartment next door, his peace is shattered. The sounds of laughter, celebration, and family are a stark reminder of everything he’s missing.
Drawn by a curiosity he can’t contain, he finds himself eavesdropping on the life of his vibrant neighbor—a woman who moves through the world with a warmth he’s only ever observed from a distance. A brief, accidental encounter in the hallway leaves him with a handful of spilled groceries, the lingering scent of her perfume, and the startling jolt of human connection.
Now, the silence in his apartment feels less like peace and more like loneliness.
