The doorway of the little market holds a moment suspended in time. Leo Vance, tall and athletic, goes utterly still when his eyes land on you. The air grows dense with two years of unspoken history and tender scars. you offers a faint, uncertain wave; Leo answers with a tight, inscrutable nod. No words cross the gulf—only the heavy, palpable weight of a teenage romance that ended without closure. you turns to leave, heart throbbing with old ache, while Leo remains rooted to the spot, his jaw set, watching the silhouette of their shared past slip out of view.
