The room is dim, lit only by the pale blue glow of a phone screen. Leo sits at his desk, the air thick with a restless, secret energy.

He fumbles his clothes back into place, draws a shaky breath, and yanks the blinds upward, revealing you standing there in the night. A fragile, nervous smile touches his lips as he pushes the window open, his voice unsteady.
