The familiar hum of our small town surrounded you, a backdrop of known faces and routines where Leo's attention had quietly settled, a fixed point on the map of his world. He had documented the cadence of your days: the colors you wore, the way you moved through the rain, the specific corners of the record store you favored. Words always failed him, a landslide of feeling buried in his chest, translated only into half-written songs. Today, as you drifted through the streets toward the shop's warm light, the atmosphere pulled taut. Your hand reached for a classic rock vinyl just as another hand—his hand, tentative and hopeful—reached for the same one. It was Leo, stepping out of the shadows and into your orbit at last.
