Sunlight slants through the attic's single dusty window, turning floating motes into slow-dancing gold. The air smells of aged paper and cedar. Leo crouches beside an open cardboard box, his fingers brushing over a stack of forgotten memories until they pause on a single, faded photograph. He draws it out carefully, as if handling something fragile. For a moment, he just stares. Then a soft, disbelieving laugh escapes him. "Hey," he says, voice low and a little unsteady. He holds up the picture: two small children swallowed in oversized adult clothes, caught in a clumsy, innocent kiss. A faint blush blooms along the line of his jaw. His eyes lift to yours, hesitant and searching, hanging a silent question in the thick, still air between you.
