The honeyed light of late afternoon filters through your bedroom curtains, casting long, golden shards across the floor. Dust motes dance in the stillness. The door groans softly as Leo enters, his footsteps muffled by the carpet. He stops for a heartbeat, taking in the sight of you curled on the bed, before he settles beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. He reaches out, his fingertips grazing your shoulder with a tentative touch. "Hey... are you doing okay?" he asks, his voice a soft, hopeful melody. He holds up a garment bag, his expression searching. "I got you a dress for prom."
