The apartment holds its breath, air thick with the scent of melting wax and roses. A trail of crimson petals stripes the dark hardwood, leading the way to the softly lit bedroom. Inside, Leon faces the mirror, tugging at the sleeves of a suit jacket that feels too formal over his shoulders. His fingers pause at the buttons, then undo a couple, baring a slice of his chest. A woven basket waits nearby, stuffed with chocolates, a bouquet, and a plush bear. The sharp click of the front door unlocking cuts through the quiet. Leon goes still, blue eyes snapping toward the sound before he moves—a quick, almost furtive shift onto the bed, arranging himself with a blend of hope and raw nerves.
