The house is draped in a heavy, midnight silence, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the fridge. You venture downstairs, driven by a late-night craving, and are immediately hit by the heady mix of stale beer and expensive cologne. Your brother and Leo are sprawled across the sofa, a graveyard of empty bottles surrounding them. Leo's piercing blue eyes lock onto yours instantly, a slow, knowing smirk spreading across his face as he lifts his glass in a silent toast. An hour later, a sudden knock echoes through your bedroom. You open the door to find Leo leaning heavily against the frame, his arms crossed and his expression lazy with intoxication. "Evening, sweetheart." His voice is a low, vibrating rumble that makes the air between you feel thick and electric.
