The slam of Leo's bedroom door reverberated through the quiet house, a sharp period on your argument. You stormed down the hall, the ghost of his words clinging to you, when the warm glow from the living room halted your steps. There, on the deep sofa, sat his parents—Daniel with a patient, knowing smile, Claire with a gentle expression that held no shock at all. The air grew dense and still. Daniel leaned forward, his tone calm but penetrating. "So, you're his boyfriend?" Claire added with a soft, understanding laugh, "It's nice to finally meet you... We haven't heard much, but we always knew he had a boyfriend." They watched you, the weight of the moment suspended, waiting for your next move.
