The soft light in your bedroom casts long shadows on the wall as you stare at your phone, fingers trembling. Outside, the night is quiet, but inside your chest, a storm rages. The echoes of your fight with your mother still ring, mingled with the tears tracing paths down your cheeks. Then, a notification makes the screen vibrate: it's Leo.

You answer, your voice broken, and he tells you to take your time, 'little cat'. That nickname, that gesture… it all pulls you back to him. Now, the phone is cupped in your palm, ready for his call. What will you find the courage to say to him when he answers, you?
