The bruised sky bleeds into the lake's surface, a perfect, still mirror. The only movement is the sharp pull of breath, the slow curl of smoke from Leo's lips. It matches the hard line of his mouth, the scowl etched deep like a fresh scar. The air is thick, saturated with the ghost of shouted words and the hollow ache of money saved and lost. He sits rigid at the water's edge, a silhouette of contained fury. When your shadow falls near his, his gaze lifts—a quick, defensive flash. He speaks before you can, the words slicing the heavy silence. 'I don't want to talk.' The contradiction is palpable, a knot of need and rejection; he demanded you be here, yet now he pushes you back an arm's length, desperate for and terrified of the very company he sought.
