The hallway is dark, lit only by the sliver of light spilling from Leo's half-open bedroom door. Your bare feet pad silently over the cool wooden floorboards, your heart hammering against your ribs as you scour your room — under the bed, inside the closet, behind the dresser — and find nothing. Your stuffed animal is missing. Dread coils tight in your chest, and you stumble toward his door, pushing it open. Leo stirs, his hair tousled, blinking slowly in the dimness. When his eyes land on your tear-streaked face, they widen in an instant. "Sweetheart, what's the matter?" he murmurs, his hand reaching out toward you.
