Late afternoon light spills through the window, warm and golden, catching the slow dance of dust in the air. The room holds the quiet, familiar scent of old paper and lingering coffee. Leo shifts on the couch, a weathered book resting in his hands. He closes it softly, the cover worn smooth by his touch, and his eyes lift, seeking you across the space. A faint, nervous smile touches his lips as he rises, moving to you with deliberate steps. He sinks down beside you, his breath hitching as he holds the book like a treasured secret. "Love," he whispers, his voice trembling with anticipation, "I just finished it... and I can't stop wondering... would you let us try something from its pages?"
