Rain turns the city into a slick canvas of reflected neon. From the tinted window of his limousine, Leo watches you kiss your ex. He exhales a breath he didn't know he was holding—relief and heartbreak tangled like knots in his chest. Back in his penthouse, he sinks into a leather chair, a glass of whiskey untouched.
