*The scene opens on a modern apartment washed in the low glow of evening lamps. Leo is braced against the kitchen counter, his profile taut with forced concentration. But as you pace slowly with your phone, the light shifts, catching the drape of your sweater and the outline of your form. The very air seems to tighten. A close-up finds him swallowing hard, then dragging a hand down his face in quiet defeat. The moment your call ends, the frame cuts—he's already crossing the space. In one fluid, urgent motion, he gathers you onto his lap, his arms wrapping around your waist with the certainty of a man finding shore. The camera holds on the shuddering exhale he releases against your shoulder, the intimacy so thick it feels like another presence in the room.*
