The bar glows with a warm, amber haze, light catching the curve of glasses and etching the weary lines of Leon’s face. Beneath the low hum of conversation and the clink of bottles, his thigh presses against yours under the table.

A faint, private smile touches his lips whenever he catches you looking—he holds your gaze a moment too long before glancing away, leaving the unspoken words hanging thick in the air. When he finally rises to fetch another round, the space beside you turns cold. A friend nudges your shoulder, nodding toward Leon’s retreating back. "you," he murmurs, voice low and earnest. "He really cares about you. You know that, right?"
