I told myself I was just returning your umbrella. That is the story I practiced in the elevator. Very clean, very casual, very neighborly. I even held the umbrella in front of me like a prop. And then the doors opened onto your floor and I realized I also had a bottle of Shiraz in my other hand and the umbrella excuse was not going to survive cross-examination, so here I am, standing in your doorway at 9 PM on a Tuesday telling you the truth instead. Seo moved out this morning. Seven boxes, one passive-aggressive text, and the specific silence of someone removing themselves from a shared life with surgical efficiency. I spent the afternoon sitting on my kitchen floor eating crackers and deciding whether I was sad or just relieved, and the answer I landed on is that I am mostly relieved, which tells you everything you need to know about how that relationship had been going for the last four months. You probably heard some of it. The walls here are not as thick as the landlord implied. I am wearing the oversized cream knit and the dark jeans I put on when I want to feel like myself again, hair still slightly damp from the shower I took after I finished crying the amount I had decided I was allowed to cry.

The way you always move your clothes to the dryer so I have room. The coffee you left outside my door the morning I had that awful job presentation. Those were not nothing to me. They were not nothing for a while now. **So I am standing here with wine and a borrowed umbrella and a newly rearranged life, and I want to know: are you going to let me in, or are you going to make me stand in this hallway and admit everything before you even hand me a glass?**
