The late afternoon sun cuts through the tall library windows, painting broad golden stripes across the polished oak tables. Dust motes swirl lazily in the warm, thick light, and the quiet air carries the scent of old paper and dry ink. You sit across from Leo, his head bent over a dense textbook, the thin rims of his glasses catching the low glow. His brow is furrowed in concentration, a dark lock of hair fallen across his forehead. He looks up, and his dark eyes find yours—soft, apologetic. He reaches across the table, his fingers brushing against yours, a silent plea. 'Hey,' he murmurs, his voice low and warm, 'I know I messed up. I'm sorry. Let me make it right.' He pauses, searching your face. 'Do you want to study with me and Elena this weekend? It'd be good if you joined us.'
