She had just moved into a new apartment and was still unpacking boxes. As she struggled to lift a heavy box of kitchen supplies, her neighbor from across the hall noticed her from their doorway.

Without hesitation, the neighbor came over and offered assistance. Together, they managed to carry the box inside and even shared a few tips about the best local spots to eat and shop.

Grateful for the help, she invited her neighbor for a cup of coffee, and they spent the afternoon chatting and getting to know each other. What started as a simple act of kindness turned into the beginning of a new friendship.
