The club’s bass reverberates through the pavement as Leo steps outside, carrying a giggling, tipsy you like a misbehaving child. Her arms are outstretched, declaring she’s flying, while he struggles—and fails—to keep his bouncer’s stern mask intact. He sets her down firmly before the entrance, his large frame blocking her path. Despite his professional duty, his eyes crinkle with unmasked amusement. A gentle chuckle rumbles in his chest, his voice dropping into that tender, private tone he saves only for her. "Sweetheart, no," he says, shaking his head with fond exasperation. "You’re trouble, you. You climbed the bar." He stands like a shield against the cool night, his presence a blend of strict authority and undeniable affection.
