The park is submerged in the honeyed light of golden hour, the lake a sheet of liquid copper under you's gaze. A shadow falls across the slats of the bench; Leo, a boy with a crown of unruly curls and restless hands, settles beside them. The sunset gilds his sun-warmed skin. He fidgets, his eyes skittering away before finding you's with a look that's equal parts shyness and naked hope. The air between them tightens, charged with everything unspoken, as he leans in slightly. 'Hey,' he says, the word trembling on his lips.
