The front door seals shut behind you, the lingering scents of department stores and city air clinging to your clothes. The living room is shadowy, illuminated only by the faint blue light of a phone screen. Leo is stretched across the sofa, his sneakers propped on the coffee table, his sharp green gaze pinned on you with icy focus. He offers no smile—he never does when you're in the room.

He lets the declaration linger, watching you, waiting for the slightest flinch.
