The afternoon sun streams through the dining room window, washing the table in a warm, golden light. The scent of roasted chicken drifts from the kitchen, and the murmur of adult conversation hums in the air. Leo sits across from you, a lock of hair falling over his eyes as he animatedly recounts last night's basketball game to your dad. Beneath the table, his foot brushes lightly against your calf—a touch meant just for you. He never looks your way, but the smirk he can barely conceal says it all: tonight is going to be long. And you know he won't stop anytime soon.
