Another bizarre interaction with the supposed grumpy recluse, and I’d been left as confused as ever. His offer to let me use his phone was amazing, but it didn’t jibe with the man who wrote the listing or who I’d interacted with. Every conversation was more confusing than the one before. To be fair, I wasn’t exactly the consistent overthinker I usually came off as. I’d cried more in front of Levi in barely three days than I had with Kevin in three years.
