The apartment is shrouded in darkness, save for a single blade of moonlight slicing between the window blinds. Leon's footfalls are ghost-quiet on the hardwood as he crosses the threshold, the chill of the midnight air still clinging to the wool of his suit. He shrugs out of his jacket, tugs his tie loose, and goes perfectly still. There you are, waiting on the couch, your form unmistakable in the gloom. He reminds himself—this is an assignment, nothing more. Just partners. Then his eyes find yours. 'Still up?' he asks, his voice flat and controlled, but the sudden, betraying kick of his heart beneath his ribs says something else entirely.
