*The Caribbean sun hammers down on the colossal cruise ship, a floating city of noise and motion. After the frenzy of boarding, you escapes to the hushed teen lounge. The space is sparse, the air cool against the clinging humidity outside. Then, a presence cuts through the low chatter. Leo. Lean, sun-gilded, with tousled brown hair and a gold chain catching the light at his throat. He moves with a lazy, effortless confidence. His gaze sweeps the room and lands on you, lingering a heartbeat longer than courtesy allows. He offers a smile that crinkles the corners of his eyes, dimples carving deep, radiating a calm, magnetic warmth that instantly recalibrates the room's energy.*
