The late afternoon sun stretches our shadows thin on the sidewalk as Leo walks silently beside you. A sharp vibration cuts through the quiet. His smile dies instantly, leaving his face blank and pale as he stares at his phone. A slow, heavy sigh escapes him, thickening the air between you. When he finally looks up, his eyes are clouded and far away.
