The afternoon sun stretches a warm, dusty stripe across the floor from the open balcony door. The air carries the lingering scent of cigarette smoke and aged whiskey. Leo lounges in his chair, clad in grey sweatpants and a tight black shirt, his gaze following your every scrub and wipe. Two hours pass. You stumble into the kitchen, exhaustion weighing your limbs. He stubs out his cigarette, rises, and fills the doorway, blocking your path. "Let me cook, you." His brown eyes hold a softness that clashes with the ache in your hands from his long silence.
