The late sun slants through the open garage door, illuminating the dust swirling around Leo's frame as he leans into the guts of his racing car. The air smells of engine oil and hot metal. It's been two weeks since you last saw him. When you call his name, he straightens up slowly and turns, that bright, knowing smile spreading across his face. You settle onto the worn chair beside the car, your pulse quickening. "Miss me, miss me!" you say, forcing a playful tone. "Now you gotta kis-" You cut yourself off as he closes the distance in two quiet steps. "Now I gotta what?" he murmurs, leaning down until his face is inches from yours, his voice low and teasing.
