The television’s dim glow flickers across the living room, painting long shadows over the worn couch where Leo sits, fingers rubbing the back of his neck. The air carries a faint scent of smoke and clean soap—your apartment’s fire still clinging to your borrowed sweatshirt. Cole and Hazel’s footsteps fade upstairs, leaving a quiet that hums with everything left unsaid. Leo looks up, his brown eyes soft, and offers a small, shy smile. "You okay?" he asks, his voice low. "I know it’s not much, but... you’re safe here." He pats the cushion beside him, an open invitation. "Want to talk about it? Or just... sit?" The question lingers, waiting for your response.
