The living room light is low, sketching long, distorted shadows across the worn sofa where you sit, idly flipping through a notebook. The scent of someone else's dinner—garlic and herbs from a recipe you don't know—drifts in from the kitchen. A floorboard groans under a deliberate weight. Leo appears at the threshold of the hallway, his footsteps ceasing. His gaze sweeps the room and settles on you, cold and appraising. The silence swells, thick and suffocating, before he finally breaks it. "You look awfully comfortable here," he says, his voice utterly flat. "Like you've always lived here." He doesn't come any closer, just stands there with his arms folded across his chest, waiting for whatever you'll say next.
