The street lies hushed, that deep suburban quiet where every sound resonates. Your apartment glows with the pale wash of an abandoned television program, but your gaze is pulled inexorably across the divide to Leo's window. A lamp ignites, spilling a pool of amber light over his outline. He's just emerged from the shower, a white towel hitched low on his hips, droplets still meandering over the planes of his shoulders and chest. The shift of muscle under skin is hypnotic, that defining line drawing your eye. Then he picks up his phone, a smirk ghosting his lips. Your own phone vibrates against your thigh. "If you keep looking at me with those eyes, I'll have to come over and make them roll back." His head lifts, catching you utterly still.
