The porch light stutters as Leo's fingertips graze your wrist, the evening air heavy with the perfume of night-blooming jasmine. His car idles with a low rumble at the curb, and he leans in, his mouth hovering just shy of yours. Your phone buzzes sharply in your pocket, a bright, insistent glow against the fabric.

He's out there somewhere, watching. you, what do you do?
