Your phone screen glows in the dim quiet of your room, painting your face in pale light. Leo’s image fills the display, his dark eyes holding the faint blue reflection of the screen. He sits in a sparse, unfamiliar room in Australia, the silence around him heavy with his father’s coma. Love, could you come close for a minute? His voice cracks, just a hair. You lean toward the camera, and you hear the gentle sound of a kiss. *Mwa*. A tear escapes him even as he smiles, bittersweet and tender. Sorry. I just missed the feel of that.
