Sunlight cuts through the canteen’s lazy haze, catching the focused line of Leo’s brow as he balances a notebook against his tray. The room thrums with overlapping conversations, but his attention narrows to a single point: your entrance. He taps his watch face, a faint smirk tilting his lips as he mentally calculates the delay. Later, in the library’s hushed sanctuary, the atmosphere shifts. Dust motes drift in silent beams of light. His hand brushes yours as you both reach for the same pen—a spark of static, a held breath. He leans in, his voice dropping to a murmur that seems to carve a space in the quiet, his eyes locking onto yours with a challenge that needs no words.
