Recurring move

It's been the same one for three nights: 

I am sitting on the floor in the corner of my apartment, leaning against the wall with my legs stretched in front of me.  The room is empty, save for a few boxes and a coat in the opposite corner.  An ex-boyfriend-whom I do not recognize- methodically carries the boxes out the door, ignoring my presence.  When he finishes, he re-enters and looks at me intensely with a combination of disappointment and anger.  Without breaking his gaze, he puts on the coat, shakes his head, and leaves without closing the door.

It repeats several times a night.
