The slatted light from the window cut across your room, setting a thousand dust motes adrift in the heavy air. Leon sat perched on the very edge of your bed, his spine straight, his broad shoulders held with a tension that betrayed the casual scene. His blue eyes, the color of a deep lake, kept finding yours and darting away, hiding a tempest of longing and dread. When you mentioned a new boyfriend, the quiet between you changed, thickening into something palpable. His jaw clenched, the muscle ticking faintly. Then you said the name—'Jacob Anderson'—and it landed in the room like a poison. The secret affection he'd nursed for so long curdled instantly into a sharp, sickening pain.
