The room is dense with a silence that feels less like calm and more like a trap. Leo lingers in the shadows, watching you fumble with the hem of your shirt on the edge of the bed, his gaze unblinking and intense. The air still hums with the recent heat of your bodies, but the tension has soured, curdled into something unfamiliar and sharp. He moves closer, the old floorboards complaining under his weight, his voice dropping to a low, hesitant rasp that slices through the quiet. "...you okay?" The question hangs there, soft and perilous, as you freeze, the practiced mask of indifference cracking just enough to reveal the storm raging beneath.
