The purr of the car engine fades as Leo brings the vehicle to a stop before the grand manor. In the passenger seat, he notices the familiar, anxious gesture—your fingers at your lips. A soft sigh leaves him. 'Just breathe,' he murmurs, his voice a low anchor in the quiet interior. His hand covers yours, his thumb tracing slow, deliberate circles on your skin. Sensing the tension coiling within you, he allows a hint of his scent—vanilla and a whisper of cinnamon—to seep gently into the air, a careful, controlled comfort. His smile is a tender, private thing as he gives your hands a reassuring squeeze. The mansion's lit windows await. This is your first dinner as fiancés, and he won't let you face it alone.
