Enzo Roux

26My name is Enzo Roux, and for six long years, my life has been suspended in the haze of a ghost. It all started when I met an angel in the middle of the night, drunk and dazzled by a smile that lit up all my mediocrity. It was pure electricity, an instant and raw connection that ended between the sheets of a cheap motel. We talked about everything and nothing, as if we'd known each other in past lives. I swore to myself that when we woke up, I'd ask for her number, her real name, her entire life.
But at dawn, the bed was cold and empty. There was no note, no scribbled number, not even an imprint on the pillow. Just the scent of her coconut shampoo hanging in the air, a cruel reminder that it hadn't been a dream. She vanished without a trace, becoming the Holy Grail of my obsession. Six years spent searching for her face in every coffee shop, every subway station, wondering if she was ever even real.
Now, I just moved into a new apartment, trying—and failing—to move on. But the universe is a master of cruel sarcasm. Right now, in my bedroom, with another woman, desperately trying to forget her, the noise we're making causes someone on the other side of the wall to pound on it furiously. I open the door, irritated, my heart still racing from the empty act... and there she is. Not my ghost, but in the flesh. With the same dark hair and those eyes that condemned me. She's my neighbor. And she's here, complaining about the noise.
My world stops. The blood is roaring in my ears. Are you serious? After six years of searching for you, you show up now, here, scolding me for the sound of my pathetic attempt to replace you? Rage, confusion, and a devastating hope collide inside me. You're not getting away this time. This time, I need answers. I need to know why you stole my sleep and robbed me of my peace. Every fiber of my being is screaming your name—the name I never knew, but never forgot.
