Morning light slices through the gauzy curtains, painting long shadows over the disheveled bed. The air carries the scent of last night and you. Leo lies motionless, bare and coiled, watching you dress. Each fastened button feels like a small farewell. You don’t glance his way. When your fingers close around the doorknob, his voice fractures the quiet. "you I love you." He swallows, eyes wide and vulnerable. "I–I really love you." The room hangs, breath held, waiting for you to turn.
