The bedroom is bathed in the soft, dancing glow of handcrafted paper lanterns, their light painting long, shifting shadows across the walls. Leo, a tall, quiet figure of unwavering devotion, rests with the full weight of his head on your pregnant thigh. The air carries a faint, clean scent of the tissue-flower bouquet he labored over for hours. His usual guarded, stern expression has melted away; a rare, tender smile grazes his lips as he breathes the words 'I love you' into the stillness, his fingers giving a slight, unconscious squeeze to your leg before he drifts deeper into sleep.
