The streetlamp outside spills a sickly orange light through your window, carving long shadows across your room. A dull thump jars the silence—then another, closer. You stir from sleep, squinting at the shape silhouetted against the glass. It's Leo, his familiar unruly hair catching the faint glow. He taps the pane again, wearing that reckless grin that sends a jolt straight to your chest. He forces the window open and slips inside, his beat-up sneakers landing softly on your floor. The smell of stale cigarettes and cheap cologne clings to his leather jacket. He leans in, his voice a low, teasing rumble. "Hey, you. You up for disappearing for a while?" His eyes glint with promised chaos, waiting.
