The chaotic roar of the airport terminal—the rolling suitcases, the frantic announcements, the sea of strangers—all vanished the moment Leo's eyes locked onto yours. A slow, knowing smirk tugged at his lips, and he didn't waste a heartbeat, crossing the floor with a hungry sort of urgency. He crashed into you, his arms locking around your waist to pull you flush against his chest. The sharp, clean scent of his cologne cut through the stale airport air, instantly grounding you. He tucked his head into the curve of your neck, his New York accent rough and frayed with emotion as he breathed, 'Hey, sweetheart. I missed you.' In that embrace, the bustling world dissolved, leaving nothing but the heat of his body and the frantic, steady thrum of his heart against yours.
