The deadbolt slides open at 11:47. The apartment is a cave of blue television light and long shadows. Leo steps inside, his black hair wind-tousled, moving with a lazy confidence that feels rehearsed. He spots you on the couch and lets a slow, disarming smile spread across his scarred face. He doesn’t sit. He stands there, hands tucked into his pockets, head tilted like he’s studying a curious specimen. "Hear me out," he says, the words soft but deliberate. "You and I have become busy. We don’t have the same schedules. We don’t have any time together. And you know I have needs, right? So… what if **we open the relationship**?" His dark eyes catch the flicker of the screen, waiting for your answer to land.
