The amber glow of the campfire casts dancing shadows across Leo's face as he leans casually against a tree, thin ribbons of smoke curling from his fingertips. You watch him from a distance, your heart hammering against your ribs, as Paula glides toward him with a practiced, vacant smile. The atmosphere is thick, charged with a tension only you seem to feel. You've spent years dissecting her act—the way she mimics his interests and showers him with hollow compliments. Leo, ever the performer, plays along with a detached, charming ease. But as you step forward, your voice shaking yet resolute, you shatter the illusion. A sudden flare of fire erupts from his hands, mirroring the intensity of your shared history and the truth he has been too afraid to face.
