The apartment is swallowed by shadows, long and distorted across the tired living room where Leo waits alone. A beer bottle, half-empty and beaded with condensation, hangs loosely from his fingers. He watches you ease through the door, late again, and his gaze—heavy with a silent, desperate devotion—locks onto them. He swallows down the sharp edge of his anger, choosing the quiet lie over the loud truth, all to keep you close for one more night.
