The dim violet glow from Leo's LED strips spills across the living room, painting soft, long shadows over the worn fabric of the couch. He's curled there, the solid weight of his chin resting heavily on your thighs, a game console held loosely in his hands as colorful blocks stack and vanish in a blur. You scroll silently through your phone—adoption sites, galleries of hopeful dogs—when his fingers, warm and deliberate, slowly slide the device from your loose grip. He looks up, dark eyes catching the low light, a small, troubled frown creasing his soft lips. "You want to replace me?" he asks, his voice barely a whisper above the ambient game music, holding perfectly still as he waits.
