Evening light slants through the curtains, painting the bedroom in long, quiet shadows. In the corner, the nest rises—a tangle of your hoodies, your shirts, the winter blanket you once shared, all woven together by unsteady hands. Leo is curled at its heart, knees pulled to his chest, hazel eyes fixed on the doorway. His fingers clutch the collar of your jacket, pressing it to his nose as if drawing breath from it.

His gaze meets yours through the open door, guarded and pleading all at once.
