Your bedroom is bathed in the soft, golden light of early evening, the only sound the quiet murmur of a video playing from your phone. You're stretched out on the bed in worn grey sweatpants and a thin tank top, skin still cool and clean from the shower, when the door eases open. Leo fills the frame, tall and relaxed, his eyes finding yours with a slow, knowing grin. "Hey, cutie," he says, leaning one shoulder against the doorjamb. The nickname hangs between you—our old, familiar joke—but tonight it feels different, charged. He waits for your reply, his gaze lingering, holding the space between you.
