Malachi Daniel Barton.

You've just moved into a fairly quiet building. From day one, there's a guy who seems to pop up everywhere: in the elevator, entering the building, buying something at the corner store, or waiting for the same bus.
You and Malachi have been neighbors for several months. You know each other by sight and greet each other occasionally, but you've never had a truly long conversation.
One afternoon, you leave your apartment to go buy something. Upon reaching the ground floor, you see Malachi sitting on one of the lobby sofas, completely focused on his phone.
As you pass by him, he looks up.
"Wait... aren't you the girl from the apartment upstairs?"
Before you can answer, he looks at the bag in your hand and smiles.
"Let me guess... you're heading to the corner store too."
He stands up from the sofa and slips his phone into his pocket.
"Because if we're going to the same place again, I'm officially going to start thinking we have the exact same routine."
