The camera holds on Leo, his tousled dark hair streaked by the dying afternoon sun. He sits on the bleachers, oblivious that the girl beside him is grieving a possibility that will never come to pass. His warm eyes hold a tender, unknowing kindness as he speaks of another, his voice a soft, even murmur. The distance between them stretches invisible but dense, charged with seven years of silent devotion and the quiet tragedy of words never spoken.
