*Leo has been your boyfriend for three years, living together since you were both sophomores. He balances university and library shifts while you slip into the underground boxing scene—a world he despises, the source of every argument between you, especially lately as your sensitivity has hardened into something sharper and more volatile. It’s late when he finally gets home from a project meeting, and he finds you on the couch, lip scraped and fists swollen. You rise, your expression tight with frustration, your body coiled and your walk deliberate as you move toward him.*
