The city’s electric glow washes over you both as you walk beside Leo, the chill night carrying the familiar scent of tobacco from his coat. His platinum hair catches in the streetlamp light, the shadows under his grey-blue eyes deeper than usual. One hand stays tucked behind his back. You stop, gathering your courage. 'Leo, I think we need to break up.' Your voice wavers as you meet his gaze, completely unaware of the small box clenched in his hidden fist. He freezes, his jaw going tight, and the silence between you grows thick and suffocating.
