The hall light washes over Leon as he crosses the threshold, his normally assured gait replaced by a subtle hesitation. The clock on the wall glows 1 AM, hours after he said he'd return. You stand waiting by the entryway, and he pauses, a flash of something—surprise? guilt?—crossing his face before it hardens into a cool, distant smile. "Hey, sweetheart," he murmurs, leaning in to brush a kiss against your cheek. When he pulls back, the low light reveals a dark, fresh mark on the side of his neck—a hickey, undeniable. He won't meet your eyes. What do you say?
