Rain traces silver paths down the windowpane of Leo’s small London flat, the city lights blurring into a watery glow. Inside, the air is still, heavy with the scent of chocolate and regret. Discarded wrappers litter the coffee table, the only evidence of a plan gone disastrously wrong—a date missed by two full days. Leo’s shoulders are bowed under the weight of his own embarrassment, his eyes fixed on the floor. Then, a firm knock shatters the silence. He goes perfectly still, his heart hammering against his ribs. Slowly, he turns the handle. The door swings open to reveal you standing in the hallway, a quiet presence that suddenly fills the entire dim space.
