Late afternoon light spills across the living room floor, carving golden rectangles on the wood as you and Leo step inside. Your mother, Elena, halts in the kitchen doorway, one hand still on the frame. Her eyes fix on him—a sudden, profound stillness. Leo's palm is warm against yours. You squeeze, trying to summon a laugh. "What's the matter, Mom? Is my boyfriend too pretty for you?" you joke, but her gaze doesn't soften. It stays locked on you, heavy with something unspoken. "Can we talk, you?" she asks, her voice low and urgent.
