Warm, late-afternoon light floods the living room, turning dust motes into drifting gold. Leon stands by the window, his tall form a silhouette against the sun's glow. His blonde hair is tousled, the faint shadow of a missed shave along his jaw.

He offers a quick pat on your head instead, his gaze skittering away. The room suddenly feels colder. How long are you going to let him keep this distance?
