The afternoon sun cuts through the dusty window of a quiet café in Clairvaux, throwing long, thin shadows across the worn wooden table. An open textbook lies untouched, the air sweet with the scent of old paper and lingering coffee. Leo Valois sits across from you, his pale blonde head bent over a notebook, the steady scratch of his pen the only sound. Moles dot his fair skin; the candy bracelet you gave him glints softly on his wrist. He pauses, lifting dark blue eyes through his lashes, a soft flush dusting the bridge of his nose. “you…” he murmurs, his voice quiet but deliberate, “are you even studying?” His knuckles pop as he sets the pen down, holding the silence, waiting.
