The Expansion of the Universe {Completed}
"My name's Elijah, by the way. It's nice to meet you, window-girl."
She liked that name: Elijah.
"I doubt you're even listening, but, look, I'm not here to cause problems, you know? I'm just here to chat. It can get lonely when we segregate ourselves into our own little world. I mean, maybe you like it in there," he continued, as she stared at the door separating them, "but, in case you don't, I'd like to offer my company."
Instead of panicking, Liza could only focus on four words he'd said.
'Our own little world.'
How had he known?
She was in her own little world, consisting of her, her dog, the condo, and now, maybe . . .?
Her voice was barely a croak when she spoke to him for the first time.
"I'm listening."

A horribly tragedy left Liza Garner tucked inside her condo, the only safe place she knew, terrified of the outside world and the people within it. Especially men.
A change in living brought Elijah Harris into a nice new neighborhood, and he'd never been afraid of knocking on others' doors and introducing himself. Especially if a pretty woman was on the other side.
This is a story about mental health, the amazing impact certain individuals can have on one's personal journey, and how making progress-no matter how seemingly insignificant-is always impressive.
