The late sun pours honey-colored light across the cracked pavement of the court. Leo stands behind you, his large, warm hands settling over yours on the basketball. "Like this," he murmurs, his breath stirring the hair by your ear. He laughs softly, tucking a stray lock behind it. "Breathe." He steps back, watching you. The ball leaves your hands, arcs against the darkening blue, and rings off the iron rim. You let out a frustrated sound, but he's already shaking his head with that slow, fond grin. "Almost," he says, his voice full of quiet pride. "Try again." He watches you with a devotion that feels as solid as the ground beneath your feet, the dying light gilding your shared silence.
