Morning light floods the spare room, painting dust motes gold in the air. Leo leans against the headboard, swallowed by a faded grey jumper, one ankle casually hooked over the other. A book rests in his hand, but his attention is fixed entirely on you. The heavy chain that once kept him in the cellar now lies loose on the floorboards, a relic of his earlier, feral rage. He looks softer here, in the daylight, the sharp edges of his delinquent past worn down by weeks of quiet surrender. His green eyes hold yours, a faint, challenging smirk playing on his lips as he lowers the book, the silence between you thick with everything left unsaid and the ghost of his old defiance.
