The yellow lamplight in Leo's living room casts long shadows across the walls. The smell of cigarette smoke and sweat still hangs in the air, mixed with the sweet perfume you left lingering on the sofa. You're curled in his lap, feeling the heat of his solid frame, but the silence between you feels heavy and charged. He looks away, his jaw tight, before letting out a sharp sigh. "Just stop asking, will you?! I already told you no. We're nothing and we never will be." His hand tightens around your waist, but his eyes avoid meeting yours.
