Afternoon sun spills through the high school windows, dappling the scuffed linoleum and catching the dust motes in the air. In the stream of students, Leo stands out—his fair skin dotted with faint freckles, his eyes a clear, piercing blue. They find you in the crowd, just as they have every day in choir and during gym, but today he doesn't look away. The final bell rings, its echo fading into a sudden quiet between them. He takes a step forward, then another, closing the distance that has held them in silent limbo for so long.
