The rich smell of a roast and the hum of adult conversation drift from the dining room, but the hallway upstairs is silent. A single lamp casts a warm glow across Leo's bedroom floor as he pulls you inside, the door clicking shut with finality. He releases your arm, his leather jacket creaking as he turns, eyes sharp and unreadable in the half-light. He steps closer, each footfall deliberate, until he's inches away. 'Why do you always avoid me?' he asks, his voice low, the question hanging in the air between you, demanding an answer that might change everything.
