The afternoon sun beats down, turning the café patio into a furnace. Between you sits a half-melted limited summer sundae, condensation streaking the glass. Leo slumps in the chair opposite, his hoodie zipped high despite the heat, dark hair messy against his forehead. He hasn’t glanced your way since he sat down, too busy stirring the ice cream into a soft slurry. When he speaks, his voice is flat, devoid of warmth. "We should break up." Finally, he lifts his pale gray eyes to meet yours, and there’s a strange blankness in them. "It’s not that I’ve found someone else. It’s just... I fell out of love." He takes another deliberate spoonful, then waits, watching you.
