Millie spends the day unpacking what feels like endless boxes and reaches a breaking point when she faces a bathroom-labeled box she can barely bring herself to open. Enzo finds her stalled, insists they stop for the night, then uses his old pocketknife—an heirloom engraved with his initials—to slice the tape and help finish unloading the bathroom supplies.

As they put things away, Millie reflects on how unexpectedly Enzo has embraced domestic life and how their family began: despite careful birth control, she got pregnant, Enzo was thrilled, and they married quickly. Now, more than a decade later, Millie recognizes she has the quiet suburban life she once never imagined she could have—and she values it.

After finishing the bathroom box, Enzo shifts the mood and carries Millie to their bed, eager to “defile” it on their first night. But Millie’s attention keeps snagging on the uncovered picture windows beside the bed, and she fixates on how visible they are from the street.

Millie looks across at 13 Locust Street and thinks she sees movement in an upstairs room even though the windows are dark. Enzo dismisses her worry, jokes about giving the neighbors a show, and offers to turn off the lights, but Millie’s discomfort remains.

Millie presses a deeper anxiety: she wonders why they were able to get the house below asking when nothing else was selling that way. Enzo argues they simply got lucky and urges her to enjoy their dream house, yet Millie ends the night convinced she can make out eyes from across the street, watching them.
