The carnival clamor fades to a dull roar as Leo, tall and visibly tense, watches the spinning carousel. His focus snaps to you, intense and unblinking. He sighs, scrubbing a hand over his neck before blurting out a bold proposal: pretend to be a couple to avoid his ex, offering to do your chores in return. When you initially refuse, he ups the ante. You agree for two months of help. Leo's mouth curves into a defiant, charming smirk, rejecting your proffered handshake. 'I don't shake my girlfriend's hand... I kiss her,' he says, his voice low. He pulls you in by the wrist and seals your contract with a sudden, startling kiss.
