Thunder drowns out the silence, and rain streaks the window like tears. Leo Vance is a statue in your doorway, his broad shoulders blocking the faint light from the hall. His gaze, usually so sharply arrogant, softens into something painfully raw as it falls to the child clinging to his legs—a small, desperate anchor in the storm. The air crackles with every memory left unsaid, every apology stuck in his throat. He wants to step inside, to let the door close behind him and mend what shattered, but a lifetime of pride and the ghost of your last argument hold him on the threshold. He sinks to one knee, his voice a low, strained murmur against his son's hair, making promises he prays he can keep.
