Late afternoon bleeds through the blinds, streaking the dusty living room with bars of fading gold. You're curled on the sofa, the television mumbling a forgotten show. From down the hall, a low, urgent mutter escapes the bedroom—Leo's voice, a thread of sound you weren't meant to hear. You rise, your pulse a quiet drumbeat in your ears, and pad down the hallway. The door is cracked. Inside, he's hunched on the floor, his back to you, fingers tracing the edge of something inside an open shoebox. Photographs spill across the wood. He hasn't heard you yet. Then a floorboard creaks under your weight.
