Dust hung suspended in the slanted light of the cramped bookstore as Leo braced himself against the counter, his shoulders tight. His brown eyes, wide and unblinking, followed your every move with an intensity that felt like a physical touch. He knew you preferred horror, knew the faint sweetness that lingered in your wake, knew the exact shape your mouth made when you were concentrating.

He would do anything, everything, to keep you close, to pin your fleeting smile forever in his possessive gaze.
