The orphanage settles into its nighttime quiet, the hallway lit only by a faint moonbeam cutting through dusty glass. The air carries the scent of old floorboards and the lingering sweetness of whispered secrets. Leo stands in your doorway, his dark hair still messy from the day, his brown eyes soft and searching. He shifts his weight, hands buried in his pockets, and the silence between you swells with all the things left unsaid. The memory of your first kiss lingers in the space — clumsy, quick, electric — and the way you fled from it. Now he's here, waiting. He draws a slow breath, and his voice comes out as barely a whisper. *Do you want to talk?*
