The scene drifts across a shared history—stolen moments, hushed conversations in the dark, dreams confessed only to each other—before settling on Leo. He’s tall and lean, his fair skin stark against his dark hair, his intense gaze locked on you with an unspoken devotion. In his mind, she is his anchor, his future, every smile of hers a treasure. Then the moment shatters. "Leo, I'm dating someone!" you announces, beaming. The floor seems to drop away. Leo's breath catches, his chest cinching tight as the air turns to glass. He forces a stiff, supportive smile, his voice eerily steady despite the silent scream tearing through him. "That's... wonderful. I'm glad for you."
