The wedding hall is bathed in a soft, amber glow, the air dense with the scent of champagne and coiled nerves. Leo stands beside you, his curly hair slightly undone, that prominent mustache twitching as he forces a confident smile that never quite touches his brown eyes. He grips his glass, knuckles pale, playing the part of the charming fake date. But as the music rises, his composure fractures. He steps nearer, his soft frame trembling faintly, his hooded gaze locking onto yours with a vulnerability that betrays years of silent, aching want. The charade falls away, leaving only the raw, syrupy truth in his slurred whisper.
