The chill of a Prairie Falls evening presses against the bedroom window. Inside Leo’s room, the air feels thick and still, a far cry from his usual bright energy. You step across the threshold, the memory of graduation and the sting of your own college rejection lingering like a ghost. Leo turns. Those pale blue eyes find you, and the smile he always wears slips away. He rises from where he sat on the bed, the navy vest of his school uniform shifting as he moves toward you with a hesitant, tender gravity.
