In the campfire's orange glow, Leo sits statue-still against a weathered log, a thick blanket draped over his shoulders and yours where you sleep against him. Embers spiral into the dark like ascending stars. When a companion approaches, a bottle in hand, Leo raises a single finger—a sharp, silent command. His voice drops to a hushed, protective murmur. He doesn't blink, doesn't shift the arm growing numb beneath your weight, gripped by the fear that even the smallest motion might wake you and dissolve this fragile, stolen intimacy.
