Meilani herself can't say that she's entirely sure how it came about — two strangers, wandering at night, both venturing from and returning to the same place in a routine that had gotten hard to ignore. Shared glances had transformed into greetings and then into conversation and before she knew it, in an event that was a rarity for the female, she was welcoming him into her apartment instead of his own. It wasn't anything substantial; a mere evening shared between two people who seemed to find familiarity in each other's presence whilst still somehow remaining unknown. Yet, when she turns from her mailbox to see the shadow cast upon her belongs to him, to see him for the first time in daylight and not nightfall, she's left feeling exposed in a way that even the intimacy shared within her room hadn't granted. "Gabriel." It's less a greeting than some strange realization, as if stating his name would transform how her mind was processing the moment, delicate fingers tugging on the arms of her sweater without conscious thought.
