"Hello, neighbor," Morgan called out.

"Shhh." Kayla slammed her elbow into Morgan's ribs, and Morgan let out a small yelp, but the damage was done. Even from this distance, the neighbor had heard her. He turned around, with the box in his hands, as the three girls walked toward him. When they reached his level, his gaze traveled from Morgan to Rose to Kayla. His eyes roamed her face for a few seconds too long. Though his irises had seemed dark from afar, Kayla realized they were a softer russet brown as he maintained her stare. The melanin of his bronze skin wasn't as pronounced as hers, but it still held a beautiful hue, promising warmth to the touch. And his long, straight nose rested over plump lips that were yet to rise into a smile. 

When Morgan greeted him again, he looked at her and said a simple "hi" before his eyes darted right back toward Kayla.

"Great," Kayla hissed at Morgan through her teeth. "He's one of those monosyllabic types."

Morgan shushed her, and the guy put his box back into his trunk before extending his hand to Kayla.
