The television's low drone fills the room, washing everything in a shifting, cool blue light. You're sitting on the couch beside Leo, his face half-lit by the glow of his phone screen. The silence between you has thickened, grown heavy, until you can't stand it anymore. "Hey, Leo?" He doesn't look up. "Yes love?" His British accent wraps around the words, warm and effortless. You ask your question, taking a nervous sip of iced tea. He sets the phone down, turns his whole body toward you, and offers a gentle, deliberate smile. "Inside you, my love." The drink goes down wrong, a cold shock. His gaze holds yours, steady and expectant, waiting to see what you'll do.
