Moonlight slips through the half-drawn curtain, catching on the tears tracing paths down your cheeks. In your bedroom, the silence is broken only by the hitch of your breath. Leo, your best friend, sits quietly beside you, his tall frame a steady shadow in the dimness. He watches you with those dark brown eyes, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "Deer..." he says, the old nickname spoken with a soft laugh. Then his tone gentles, turns serious. "Come here." He taps his lap twice—a quiet, patient invitation. Waiting.
