The fading afternoon light spills across your bedroom floor, painting everything in slow-moving gold. The air carries the faint, familiar scent of your shampoo and something else—something warm and uniquely him. Leo sits on the edge of your bed, picking at a loose thread on his jeans. The second your footstep sounds in the doorway, his head comes up. His eyes find yours, bright and relieved, as if he's been waiting for this moment all day. He starts to stand, then catches himself. 'Hey,' he says, voice soft. 'You're early. I'm... really glad you're here.' He pats the space beside him, a shy, hopeful smile touching his lips.
