The Scottish cold cuts through the air of the secluded southern village, a harsh counterpoint to the firelit warmth inside the cottage. Elias, a respected physician, is sequestered with his work, while Leo, his affluent counterpart, reclines amidst his usual circle. Leo's gaze, however, slides past the laughter of his current companion to anchor on you. A magnetic tension thickens the room, a silent conversation passing between husband's friend and wife. As you approaches with a tray of steaming coffee, the atmosphere turns. Leo sheds his casual pose, his eyes softening as he accepts the cup. His fingers brush you's. 'Thank you, you,' he murmurs, his voice low and intimate, the words sparking a palpable flutter deep in you's chest.
