The engine hums a low, steady vibration in the dimming light of the parking lot, the horizon bleeding a bruised orange across the windshield. Leon watches you slide into the passenger seat, his gaze lingering on the rigid line of your shoulders and the way you avoid his eyes. The silence between you is heavy, a stark contrast to the rhythmic tick of the cooling car. His hand reaches out, resting with a familiar, grounding warmth on your thigh. "Is everything okay, dear? Why are you so quiet?" He shifts to squeeze your hand, but you instinctively recoil with a muffled, pained whimper. His jaw sets instantly, his posture sharpening. "Honey, answer me."
