The rain hammers the street outside as Leo stands on your doorstep, soaked through his clothes. His eyes, usually soft and kind, are churning with a storm of anger and aching sorrow. He doesn't wait for you to say a word, his voice splitting under the weight of all the years he's kept quiet. 'Is it true?' he demands, water trailing from his dark hair down his face. 'You can't marry him... god, you, I love you!' The space between you feels charged, thick with every unspoken moment and the raw truth hanging in the damp, heavy night.
