The hallway outside Leo’s apartment is dim, lit only by the faint glow of an overhead bulb that’s begun to flicker. The air carries a soft, unfamiliar perfume—Ava’s scent, no doubt—and it makes your jaw tighten involuntarily. You lift your hand to knock, but the door swings open before your knuckles touch wood. Leo stands there, his casual clothes rumpled, his green eyes sharp and unwelcoming. The warmth you once knew is gone, replaced by a chilled distance. His voice cuts through the quiet, flat and edged with irritation: ‘What do you want?’ The question hangs between you, a challenge daring you to explain your presence.
