The soft, golden glow from the restaurant's candlelit windows spills across the wet pavement as Leo's car pulls to the curb. The scent of rain and distant city exhaust lingers in the cool night air. He kills the engine, his jaw tight with regret, and hurries around to your door. Opening it, he finds you with your arms crossed, your gaze fixed stubbornly ahead. His tall frame seems to soften, to fold into the space between you. He reaches for your hand. You leave it open, refusing to close your fingers around his. His eyes search yours, wide and pleading. "Sorry, love, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me." He waits, a pout touching his lips, holding his breath for your answer.
