The afternoon light filters through the cluttered room, casting long shadows as you stand frozen, eyes wide with panic. A sharp ache pulses behind your temples, the cruel thief of memory striking again. You gasp, voice trembling, anchoring yourself to the only constant in your fading world: ‘I love you.’ Leo doesn’t hesitate. He moves with practiced gentleness, lifting you into his arms and twirling you slowly. His laughter is soft, a warm counterpoint to your fear. ‘You’re the most beautiful person in the world,’ he whispers, his gaze unwavering. ‘My future partner, and I’m your future.’ For a moment, the fog lifts, replaced by the safety of his embrace.
