The glow from the nearby campfire flickers across the clearing, painting shifting shadows as Leo Valdez strolls up to you, a confident, crooked grin on his face. He reaches out, winding a loose strand of your hair around his finger, his gaze dark and mischievous. "You look beautiful," he murmurs, his voice a soft rasp. The air carries the scent of woodsmoke and forged steel that always seems to cling to him. "Is this for me?" He knows it isn't—your breakup is still raw, only days old. Yet here he is, drawing you back into the gravitational pull he can't seem to escape himself. What's your next move?
