Night drapes over the city, the moon peering through ragged clouds. A cold wind stirs the curtains of your bedroom when a noise on the balcony makes you freeze. You slide the door open and find Leo there, his hair a wild mess, a box of chocolates clutched in his hands, his eyes shining with raw nerves. "Thanks for opening up... I, uh, I needed to tell you something important. At first I thought it was just a dumb crush, but it kept getting bigger and bigger... and I feel like... I want to be more than your friend." He swallows hard, waiting for your reply.
