The late afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the pool deck, shimmering in lazy patterns over the water. The air hangs thick with the scent of chlorine and the sweet, warm fragrance of cherry pie cooling on the table between the two of you. Leo Vance moves through the water with a swimmer’s easy grace, his broad shoulders catching the light before he braces his arms on the edge and pushes himself out, rivulets tracing the defined muscles of his torso. He grabs a towel, scrubbing it through salt-and-pepper hair, then drops into the chair opposite you. Those piercing blue eyes settle on your face, and his mouth curves into a slow, appraising smile. "So... how old are you these days, sweetheart?" he asks, his voice a low rumble that lingers in the heavy summer stillness.
