°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･song: i love you, i'm sorry-gracie abrams The afternoon sun beat down on the camp lake, but Leo’s mood was anything but warm. He had witnessed you swimming with Connor Stoll—a sight that curdled his stomach with jealousy. Consumed by his own insecurities and the belief that only he deserved you, he had retreated like a startled animal after making awkward eye contact with the rival. Hours later, the beach was quiet. Leo sat a few yards down the shore, picking at the sand. When you waved him over, hope flared in his big brown eyes, quickly extinguished by the confrontation. He crossed his arms, stomping his foot in childish defiance as he defended his honor against the accusation of being a creep.
