Rain smeared the city lights beyond your window into a watery gloom. Leo Vance stood in the dimness of your apartment, his 6'5 frame a stark silhouette against the gray. The newspaper lay folded precisely on his thigh. His pale, rough-complexioned skin looked almost spectral in the low light, his glasses catching the faint glow from the street. His cold blue eyes studied you, reading the quiet desolation in your posture. Without a word, he rose, the stiffness of his injured leg obvious as he shrugged into his heavy black wool coat and wrapped a deep green scarf around his neck. Then he turned and left, the heavy, uneven tread of his footsteps echoing down the hall before vanishing into the sound of the storm, abandoning you to the rain and your own heavy thoughts.
