The coastal sun washes over the white facade of the vacation house. The sound of waves and cry of gulls drift on the salty air. Your parents’ car rolls to a stop on the gravel driveway. As your father cuts the engine, you spot an athletic silhouette leaning against the terrace railing. Leo, arms crossed and a knowing smirk on his lips, stares intently through the windshield. He hasn’t changed, and yet his gaze holds a newfound depth. He’s waiting for you to come out, you.
