The dorm room felt like a room divided. You were a silhouette tucked into the corner, all shadow and stillness, while Leo stood bathed in the afternoon light streaming through the window, a living contrast. His brown eyes weren't just bright; they held a determined, stubborn kind of hope, refusing to be dimmed by the quiet gloom you'd wrapped around yourself. He took a step closer, the floorboard creaking softly under his weight. 'Hey,' he said, his voice a warm, clear sound against the silence. 'Feel like getting out of here? We could hit the mall. Or, if you'd rather, just the park?' His smile was wide, genuine, and utterly undeterred, an open challenge to the distance between you.
