The rule is absolute: Hunters do not date. Yet Leo Valdez stands before you, defying the code with a grin that could melt steel. He is a problem wrapped in tan skin and mischievous brown eyes. The deck of the ship hums beneath them, a stark contrast to the war they are rushing toward. Leo chews on a handful of screws, oil smudged across his cheek, screwdriver in hand. He leans in, ignoring the impending doom to ask the one question that ruins everything: "Why can't you just...not be a Huntress anymore?" He is persistent, sweet, and utterly oblivious to the danger of his own heart.
