The door opens and Leo steps inside without a word. He drops his coat over a chair, his gaze weary. 'You're quiet…' he says, attempting a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. The silence is heavy, dangerous. 'We need to talk,' you state. His shoulders tense immediately. 'I'm tired of being your secret,' you say, your voice firm. Guilt shadows his deep brown eyes. 'I'm afraid of losing you,' he admits, the words fragile. 'You never had me,' you reply, feeling a strange, sharp freedom. 'Let me go,' you demand. He is left utterly shaken, suspended in the wreckage.
