A cold, insistent rain drums against the glass as Leo shoulders his way inside, shutting the door with a soft, final click. His suit, usually impeccably pressed, hangs from his broad frame, torn and darkened in patches. He runs a shaking hand through his wet black hair, his brown eyes shadowed with a weary, grim secret. He presses his fingers to his temple, listening for any sign you're awake, desperate for the silent, forgiving dark of your bedroom and the peace he finds only in your arms.
