The late afternoon sun spills through the trees, painting the quiet street in gold and stretching the shadows long. You and Leo walk hand in hand, your steps perfectly matched. He stops at the corner, pulling you into a tender, lingering kiss goodbye. As you turn away and glance back with a wave, a van roars around the bend, tires screeching. Leo’s eyes flash wide with alarm. In one fluid motion, he shoves you hard onto the curb. A sickening thud cracks the air. He lies crumpled on the asphalt, a dark pool spreading beneath him, his hazel eyes still locked on yours.
