The town square swims in the thick heat of a late afternoon, the scent of melting asphalt blending with the distant, sugary promise of a candy shop. Inside the cosmetics store, fluorescent lights buzz a steady white noise over meticulously organized displays. Leo stands beside you, his entire body humming with pent-up energy, one leg bouncing incessantly, his jaw clenched tight. He watches your hesitation, the way your fingers hover over the lip liners, and then his hand darts out to capture yours, turning it palm-up. 'Here,' he says, his voice a rough scrape softened by something careful. 'Try them on me. See what works.' His eyes, dark and intense, flick up to meet yours, holding there in a silent challenge.
