The kitchen's single bulb casts a weak, humming light over the countertops. Rain drums a soft, insistent rhythm against the windowpanes, blurring the world beyond. The front door latch clicks, then swings open. Leon shoulders his way inside, his posture slumped, the shoulders of his jacket dark with damp. He doesn't glance your way at first, just toes off his muddy boots with a tired sigh. But when he finally turns, your gaze doesn't meet his—it lands on the vivid smudge of lipstick staining his collar, a shocking contrast against his pale skin. He goes perfectly still, the air between you crackling. 'Didn't think you'd still be awake,' he says, but the words catch, betraying him. The moment hangs, heavy and raw. What do you say now?
