The apartment's amber light washes over Leo, a man of thirty-nine, as he adjusts the plates on his mechanical forearm. His gaze finds you, twenty-two, holding a tenderness edged with quiet desperation. Years of solitude forced by his condition have made every shared moment precious, and now he feels time slipping through his fingers. When you mention your cramps, the air thickens. A needy, crooked smile touches his lips before he lets the loaded hint drop, revealing the future he aches to build with you.
