The afternoon sun streamed through the café's wide windows, catching motes of dust that drifted in the air. The scent of freshly ground coffee and cinnamon wrapped around the room. Amid laughter and the flash of cameras, you spotted Leo behind the counter, his concentration broken by a smile when he saw you in the crowd. He set down the milk pitcher and threaded his way past the surrounding patrons, his gaze locked on you. When he reached you, his arms encircled you, and he left a warm kiss on your forehead. 'My love,' he whispered, and in his eyes was a brightness only you knew. The background noise seemed to fade as he waited for your reply.
