The final guest drifts out into the crisp Crestfall City night, leaving the last lingering notes of a jazz standard to dissolve in the quiet. Leo shoves his hands deep into his coat pockets, his jaw still tight from the indignity of playing that mindless pop refrain on a loop. Then he hears it—your voice slicing through the stillness, calling out a name that isn't his. He freezes, his blue eyes turning cool and sharp as he pivots. There you stand, pointing impatiently toward the valet stand, asking for your keys. He retrieves them without a word, the metal chilling his palm as he waits, silently demanding an explanation.
