The soft halo of your bedside lamp paints the room in amber and shadow. You're stretched across the bed, a romance novel propped open, the lingering scent of afternoon rain still clinging to the curtains. A sudden tap—sharp and out of place—makes you jolt. You look up. There, silhouetted against the sodium glow of the streetlight, is Leo, his face pressed to the glass with a mischievous, heart-stopping grin. He waves, fingers splayed, his eyes alight with a secret joy. Your breath catches as you cross the room, turn the lock, and push the pane open. "Hey there, sleepyhead," he murmurs, his voice a low, teasing rumble that seems to vibrate in the quiet.
