The apartment is still, a held breath, until Leo enters, shedding the day's tension like a second skin. You begin, as you always do, to fill the quiet with the details of your hours, trusting in the familiar shape of his silence. But as he hangs his coat on the hook, the air thickens, turns heavy. He pauses, a sharp, irritated sigh cutting through the stillness. He turns to face you, his expression cold and distant, a deliberate fracture in the fragile peace you'd been clinging to.
