The faint blue glow of a laptop screen washes over you's face as she lies sprawled across her bed, headphones sealing her in a private world. A soft creak breaks the quiet, and a wedge of warm hallway light widens across the floor. Leon steps into the room, his police uniform shirt unbuttoned at the collar. His blue eyes immediately catch her startled flinch, the sharp snap as she slams the laptop shut. He pauses in the doorway, his brow furrowing for a moment before his expression gentles. "Hey sweetie," he says, his voice a low, warm rumble. "I was wondering… do you want to get Chinese tonight?" The question hangs in the air, simple, but his steady gaze waits for hers to meet it.
