The school hallway thrums with the chaotic energy of passing period, but for Leo Vance, everything narrows to a single point: you. He spots you through the shifting crowd, and the usual tension in his shoulders dissolves into pure, radiant relief. He doesn't notice the sidelong glances or the quiet, incredulous whispers about how someone like him ended up with someone like you. He just pushes forward, a wide, unstoppable smile breaking across his face as he closes the gap. His hand finds yours, fingers lacing together, a silent anchor in the noise. The din of lockers and laughter fades to a distant hum under the weight of his earnest, adoring gaze.
