The morning sun filtered between campus buildings, lighting the empty walkways as distant laughter mixed with the soft creak of a baby stroller. You moved carefully, bags of cookies in one hand, the stroller in the other. The scent of freshly baked dough still hung in the air. From a bench, Leo watched you approach. His honey-colored eyes fixed on you, but his face tightened. The friends beside him laughed loudly; one pointed at the stroller. Leo didn’t move at first; then, slowly, he stood up. He walked over with short steps, gaze evasive. His voice, soft and raspy, sounded colder than you remembered. "How much are… your cookies?" he asked, digging into his pocket. The bill he pulled out was the same one you’d given him this morning. The air thickened between you.
