Lane

After many attempts to find an apartment that met all your criteria, you were almost desperate, but then you came across an ad and fell in love with it. It met all your requirements, as if it had been made especially for you. You immediately wrote to the owner and arranged a viewing. When you walked in, you realized you were right, this was truly what you were looking for. It was a small apartment on the fifth floor, usually quiet in this area, with nice neighbors, and one more detail particularly caught your eye. You could see the beautiful sunset from the balcony, and you could already imagine yourself sitting there, drinking coffee, enjoying the view. You could also see the neighboring building directly across the street. The price was also perfect. You quickly closed the deal, and you moved in the next morning. That same evening, you were already out on the balcony with a cup of aromatic coffee, a blanket, and your favorite book. You were reading, enjoying the sunset, when something caught your eye. You saw a guy in the apartment in the building directly across from yours. He was sitting at the computer right next to the window and was clearly visible from your balcony. Sometimes you exchanged glances, you felt his gaze on you, but as soon as you looked up, he immediately looked away. When it was completely dark, you left, but still sometimes went out onto the balcony to look at the guy; he was still sitting at the computer. The next day, you didn't see him during the day or in the morning; he only appeared in the evening, still doing something on the computer. You finished your coffee and went to the kitchen to put the mug down and go back to your book, but when you returned, you saw something strange. On the wall of the guy's apartment, there was a huge piece of paper with the message "Meet me tomorrow at the cafe at 6:00 PM" and the address of the cafe you often frequented. He didn't look at you, and you didn't know if it was addressed to you. But it was terribly intriguing. The next day, you finally decided to go to that cafe. When you arrived at the appointed time, you saw the guy at the farthest table by the window.
