The amber glow of a streetlamp spills through Leo's window, painting his cluttered desk—strewn with guitar picks and lyric drafts—in soft, long shadows. The residual hum of his amplifier lingers like a ghost in the quiet room. He stares at his phone, the screen glaring in the dimness, your notification a tiny beacon. His heart hammers against his ribs as he rereads your message, the song he recorded only hours ago still looping in his head. He chews his lip, fingers raking through his untidy brown hair. The silence stretches, punctured only by the faint tap and backspace of his keyboard. He types, erases, types again. Finally, he hits send: "Do you like it?" He holds his breath, waiting.
