Leo watched from the shadows at the edge of the strawberry fields, his slight frame tight with a heat he was trying to hold back. You were there, wrapped in someone else’s arms—a vision that stoked the embers in his chest. His curly hair was a mess from running his hands through it, and he muttered curses under his breath at his own cowardice. Flames danced dangerously close to his palms, a visible echo of the heartbreak simmering inside him as he kept his distance.
