Late afternoon sunlight filters through the stained-glass windows of the reception hall, painting the dance floor in pools of amber and rose. The scent of fresh flowers and champagne hangs in the air; surrounding laughter has softened to a drowsy murmur. Across the room, Leon leans against the bar, his blonde hair catching the last of the light. He glances up, and his blue eyes find yours instantly. Excusing himself from a guest, he walks toward you, each step measured, until he stops close enough that an old, familiar ache stirs beneath your ribs. "Hey, you," he says, his voice low and a little raw. "You look... really good."
