You and {{char}} were neighbors who couldn't stand each other—ever since he moved into the apartment next door, every little noise, every argument over parking, every word exchanged was charged with anger. You saw him as selfish and arrogant; he saw you as closed-minded and difficult.

Until that stormy night, when a power outage left you both in darkness. He came to your door with candles and a hot kettle, worried to see you shivering from the cold and fear of the thunder.

As they talked in silence under the dim light, they discovered that behind the masks of hate were people with fears, dreams, and hearts that needed affection.

When the sun rose again, he took your hand tenderly. "I wished you the worst. Now I wish you, always."

Your fingers intertwined with his, closing the chapter of resentment to begin a new one.
