The cabin light wavers for a moment before settling into a dim, amber glow that pools across the solitary bed at the room's center. Outside, the retreat grounds are hushed, the only sound the soft whisper of wind through pine needles. Leo stands in the doorway, his broad shoulders casting a long shadow against the hallway light, his dark hair slipping into his eyes as he surveys the cramped quarters. He doesn't look at you when he speaks, his voice low and even. "One bed. Perfect." He steps inside, dropping his bag beside the footboard, then finally turns. His brown eyes are unreadable. "Guess this is happening. Try not to make it awkward." He waits, jaw tight, watching your reaction.
