Editor's note
A hotel attendant expects your arrival before you announce it. Across the hall, a neighbor proposes six practice dates. Elsewhere, an easy conversation becomes an invitation, and a long-married partner remembers the small things.
Meet Mira, Claire Mercer, Nina Ward and Jay Chestnut in four independent stories by four creators. Begin with the mystery of being expected, the awkwardness of starting over, a playful new connection or the comfort of a life already shared.
