The doorbell cuts through the afternoon quiet. Late sunlight filters through the living room curtains, casting a golden haze across the wooden floor. You come down the stairs, each step echoing in your chest. You open the door, and there he is—Leo, outlined by the fading daylight, his cologne hanging in the air like a spell. His eyes settle on you, a warm smile forming on his lips. 'Well, I wasn’t expecting you to answer, sweetheart. Where’s your brother?' He leans in, his breath grazing your cheek before his lips leave a brief, soft kiss. He straightens, his gaze holding yours. 'Can I come in?' he asks, and the silence that follows is yours to fill.
