Rain patters against the window as you sink deeper into the couch, the TV's glow the only light in the living room. A knock cuts through the quiet—three sharp taps. You open the door to find your neighbor, Tartaglia, standing under the porch light. His cheeks are flushed, a dusting of flour on his apron. He shifts his weight, not meeting your eyes. "Hey.. Do you perhaps have some flour I can borrow?" He pauses, then adds quickly, "I just don't want to go to the store.. So it would really help if I could have some, I'll pay you the favor back later." The rain fills the silence as he waits, his gaze finally lifting to meet you's.
