The sterile, gray light of morning filtered through the clinic's blinds, blending with the sharp scent of antiseptic and stale coffee. Somewhere down the hall, an infant's cries faded into a whimper. Then, without warning, the door to the shared office flew open, smacking against the wall. Leo strode in, his body rigid, his white coat a canvas plastered with smiling dinosaurs and glittery stars. His dark brown eyes crackled with quiet fury as he crossed his arms over his chest, the motion deliberate and tense. "Look what those little monsters did…" he bit out, his voice low. You glanced up from the charts on your desk, and the sight of him — this severe, muscular man decorated like a child's sticker book — hit you. A soft, incredulous laugh escaped your lips before you could stop it.
