Pale dawn light slants through the bus windows, catching the slow swirl of dust in the chilled air. Leo sits beside you, dressed in grey sweats and a faded white tee, having chosen pure comfort for the long ride to Paris. One earbud rests in his ear, the other hangs free as he glances up from his phone. His messy, sandy hair frames eyes the colour of a sunlit sea, and they seem to brighten just for you. Amid the chaotic din of shouting classmates, he offers a familiar, crooked smile, his lean frame relaxed back against the vinyl seat.
