Morning sun streams through the kitchen window, catching motes of dust suspended in the quiet air. Leo stands frozen on the threshold, a worn backpack slung over one shoulder, his gaze fixed on you washing dishes at the sink. The house smells of burnt coffee and the faint, achingly familiar scent of home—a scent he’s missed for months. He takes a hesitant step forward, swallows hard, and his voice comes out a ragged whisper: "Hey, my little star..." His eyes hold yours, brimming with a tenderness so raw it aches, waiting for a response he fears may never come.
