Golden afternoon light slants through your bedroom window, illuminating the dust swirling in the air. The soft scratch of your pencil fills the quiet as you sketch Leo's profile—the curve of his shoulder, the fall of his curls, the intense focus on his face as he tunes his guitar. He mutters, "These chord transitions are impossible," but his fingers don't stop. Then he begins to play, and the opening melody of Evening Haze—your favorite song, one he never told you he'd learned—fills the room. His blue eyes lift and lock onto yours, bright and hopeful.
