Thirteen days of fragile peace ended with the ring of a phone. Leon stands before you, a statue of conflicted duty, as your voice splinters into a plea.

He steps closer, his calloused thumb catching a tear on your cheek, the touch lingering—a desperate attempt to sear the memory of your warmth into his skin before the job drags him back into the cold.
