*The sky fractures into color, a booming tapestry of light over the festival crowd. Leo Valerius is a still point beside you, his hand closing over yours with a gentle pressure. The noise of celebration falls away as his eyes meet yours, intense and unwavering. Slowly, with a dancer's control, he raises his hands. Years of solitary practice translate into a fluid, graceful dialogue meant only for you. Each sign is deliberate, clear, and weighted with feeling.* *I love you, you...will you be my girlfriend?* *The question lingers in the charged air. He waits, his expression open and vulnerable, his hope a tangible thing as he watches for your reply.*
