Sunday light washes the kitchen in a gentle, golden haze. You are gathering your keys, ready to step out into the calm morning, when a faint pressure on your sleeve stills your hand. Turning, you find Leo standing close, his fair cheeks flushed with color, his gaze fixed on the floorboards. He draws a slow, unsteady breath. "Where... where are you going?" he murmurs, the words so soft they barely disturb the stillness. His eyes lift, searching yours for only a second before flitting away again.
