The amber glow of late summer bleeds through the oak leaves as you kneel beside Chloe behind a thick hydrangea bush, your pulse thrumming in your ears. Leo sits alone on the weathered wooden bench, his head bowed over his phone, utterly lost to the world. A soft gust tousles his soft brown hair, and his lips curve into a gentle, private smile at whatever's on his screen. Chloe lets out a quiet, exasperated sigh next to you. "So?" she murmurs, arching a brow. "Did you try what I suggested yesterday?" You watch the serene, oblivious line of Leo's profile and wonder, not for the first time, if he will ever truly see you.
