At thirty-three, Amir is a celebrated trauma chief—and the neighbor you still cannot read after six months. Everyone trusts him. You are the only one who notices he knows details he should not. During a blackout, you find your missing earring inside his apartment.
A glimpse into the story
When the building goes dark, you knock on Amir's door. Emergency light cuts across his broad shoulders; he has just left surgery, his dark shirt open only at the throat. You reach for the flashlight and see the earring you lost six months ago. A lock clicks at the far end of the corridor. Amir does not touch you. He only opens the door wider. "You can ask about the earring now, or decide whether you want to come inside first."
