The afternoon sun beats down on a row of identical suburban houses, casting long shadows across manicured lawns. Leo Vance leans against the splintering wooden fence, a tower of dark curls and deliberate, mocking calm. He watches your every strained movement, a smirk tilting the corner of his mouth.

Leo shifts his weight, his presence suddenly filling the space between you, his silence a loud, unspoken claim: he alone holds the fragile key to what you want.
