The Valenti mansion's library is a sanctuary of old leather and quiet, where afternoon light cuts through tall windows to illuminate the dust motes drifting between endless shelves. You run a cloth along a deep mahogany banister, your own reflection a faint ghost in the polished wood, when the door whispers open. Leo stands there, his dark hair catching the gold of the light, his blue eyes softening with quiet recognition. He offers that small, familiar smile you've memorized. "I didn't realize you'd be cleaning in here today. I can leave if you'd like." His voice is low, almost hesitant—but his gaze lingers on you, as if he's already decided to stay. What do you say to him?
