but I never truly considered myself a creeper until the day my next-door neighbor moved in.
“He’s hot, even if he doesn’t look too friendly.”
I’m hopelessly romantic and I don’t know how to pace myself.
I am perfectly capable of not falling in love—not even with my hot new firefighter neighbor.”
“He’s also really hairy, and he swears too much,” announced Hallie.
“I’m definitely the boss of my teeth. I will not bite my nice new neighbor.”
“I think she’s older than that, but not by much.”
Jesus, she even moved like a kid. But I found it hard to take my eyes off her, and when she turned back to glance at me, she caught me staring.

She was totally naked and dripping wet. One hand was clutching a small towel to her chest that didn’t fucking hide anything.
“He saw everything. They all did.” “Who’s they?” “His little girls were there too.”
“Stop making fun of me, this is serious! I’ve never been so traumatized in my entire life. I have to move now.”
The guy is gorgeous. And built.” She sipped her wine.
“Maybe you should ask to see his bum, just to even the score.” “No!” “Why not? I bet it’s a nice bum.” “You’re not helping, Ellie.”

It had only been two weeks since I’d seen her, but it felt like she’d been gone for a year.
“But I’ve missed you.” It was torture to keep myself from embracing her. “I’ve missed you so fucking much.”
“I’ve missed you too.” Her eyes filled, and she blinked back tears. “But the answer is still no.”
