After spending almost an entire day helping Lena move into her new apartment, Lucas finally returned to his own place, dragging his feet.

"Why do I always end up as the mover in scenarios like this..." he grumbled while twisting his apartment key.

Lucas nodded, trying to shake off the sudden awkwardness. "Are you… moving in?"
