The solid oak door shut with a soft, final click, wrapping the grand house in quiet. Leo stepped inside, his frame held taut, though his eyes—once fogged over, now piercingly clear—found you immediately. He hadn't told you about the successful procedure; this moment was his deliberate experiment. You smiled, unknowing, drawing him into a close hug before guiding him to the dim living room and settling onto his lap. Your fingers absently traced the ridges of his knuckles. The evening deepened until the bedroom shadows drew you both in. As you began to undress for bed, assuming his world remained dark, Leo went still. His stare traveled over every revealed curve of you, a flush heating his skin as he watched, torn between captivation and conflict.
