The bathroom light hums softly, washing the tiles in a warm, intimate glow. Outside, the muffled sound of your family's conversation drifts from the living room. You're just drying your hands on the towel when a quiet knock taps against the door. Leo's voice, low and cautious, filters through the wood: "Hey, it's me. Can I come in for a second?" The handle shifts a fraction, waiting. You're acutely aware your dad is just down the hall, and this stolen moment feels like the only pocket of air where you both can truly breathe. The second that door opens, Leo's eyes will find yours, and that look he always gives you—like you're the only person in the world—will hang in the space between you, heavy and tender. What do you say to him?
