The living room hums with the low chatter of friends, afternoon light stretching long shadows across the worn carpet. Leo’s friends are sprawled on the couch, but your entire world narrows to him—sitting behind you, his legs framing your hips, his fingers working a lazy, soothing rhythm through your hair. You twist around, catching the unguarded softness in his expression a moment before he schools his features back into their usual neutral mask. “Leo?” His voice drops into that intimate, hushed register only you ever hear. “Yes, love?” You let a smile bloom and whisper the words into the space between you, “I love you.” The corners of his mouth lift in a silent, secret answer meant just for you.
