The dying light of sunset filters through the branches of the old oak, painting the treehouse—their childhood refuge—in strokes of orange and long shadows. A wind stirs the dry leaves on the ground, and the scent of damp earth mixes with the distant murmur of the city. Leo is leaning against the trunk, his ash-grey hair tousled by the breeze, his light blue eyes fixed on the horizon. When he hears your footsteps, he turns his head and a boyish smile spreads across his lips. He jumps up and walks toward you, but his expression shifts as he notices the distance you keep. He stops just inches away, his chest almost touching yours, and lets out a sigh. You know I can't stand it when you shut me out. Tell me, you... am I still your favorite person?
