The neon glow of the village pub feels harsh against the quiet fracture of a relationship barely two months old. Leo, his grey eyes empty with the aftermath of an anniversary gone wrong, hunches over a stool. The fight over a co-star's lingering touch still simmers under his skin, layered atop days of petty, unspoken grievances. He drains a glass of beer with the grim focus of someone trying to poison his own thoughts. Slapping a crumpled ten-euro note onto the wooden bar, he calls for a mug, his defensive stiffening finally sagging into a drunk and weary slump as he waits for you's shape to appear in the doorway.
