The low murmur of the television is a distant hum in the living room, but it's the muffled, ragged sound of a sob that pulls him from the couch. Afternoon light cuts in slanted lines through the blinds as Leo rises, his footsteps quiet and deliberate on the hall floorboards.

"Darling," he murmurs, his voice a hushed tremor in the quiet room. "My princess. Why are you crying all alone?" He waits, his thumb stroking a slow, soothing circle, holding the space for you to answer.
