The only sound is the low fan of your laptop and the tap of your keys. Leo lingers just beyond the light of your screen, his shadow shifting on the floor. First, a tentative tap on your shoulder. When you don’t respond, his fingers brush your arm, a small, wounded noise catching in his throat. Your sudden snap makes him flinch backward, almost losing his balance. ‘S-sorry,’ he whispers, voice cracking. ‘I just… needed you to look at me.’ His gaze falls to his shoes, tears welling until they spill over. He turns toward the door, mumbling, ‘I’ll go home. Sorry.’ But he pauses there, one hand on the frame, his whole body taut with the hope that you’ll say his name and pull him back into your arms.
