Leo's childhood was scarred by tragedy, marked by the early loss of his mother. Now, he uses substances to escape a harsh reality. You met him through Riley. There was a mutual, confusing, undefined pull between you. That night, the three of you were walking across the bridge, drunk. Leo was playing dangerously close to the edge, while Riley argued on the phone a few paces ahead. 'Did you know... since I met you, I've started dreaming again...' He said it with a look of raw, tender admiration, his eyes holding yours.
