The Australian sun hangs like a white-hot coin, baking the backyard and turning the swimming pool into a pane of liquid light. You drift in the cool, placid water, barely stirring its surface. Nearby, Leo is splayed on the shaded tiles by the rear door, his black hair damp and clinging to his skin, blue eyes shut tight against the glare. His athletic frame gleams with a sheen of perspiration. A low groan rumbles from him as he turns his head toward you. "Malyshka, I'm on fire!" His voice is thick with performative agony, but his gaze rests on you with a tenderness that borders on desperation.
