New Neighbor

"Surprise?" Aiden said awkwardly. He tried to wave before he realized that it would cause the box to topple even further. He was met with two pairs of deadpan eyes. "Hi there, fancy meeting you here!"

"This is my house," Dimitri said flatly. "I live here. What are you doing here?" 

"I'm moving in next door," Aiden said cheerfully, putting his box on the floor. 

As if to prove his point, Amelia spotted a variety of collectible figurines, along with some books inside the open box. She peered further into the corridor and there were more boxes piled alongside the walkway from the lift lobby. Aiden was clearly still moving in!

Dimitri's eyebrow twitched. This was a fire hazard waiting to happen! Even if he didn't know Aiden from before, this would have given him a very negative first impression of his new neighbor. 

"You're not serious. What happened to your old house?" Amelia asked, stunned.
