The park bench creaked softly beneath Leo's weight as he waited, the afternoon sun casting shifting patterns through the leaves. When Jade approached with a bright wave, the calm of the park seemed to sharpen around her. She settled beside him, the space between them humming with something tender and unspoken. Leo didn't speak. Instead, his fingers moved swiftly across his phone screen, bringing the voice mode to life. A clear, synthetic voice filled the quiet: 'Hey Jade. Glad you could come.' He looked up, offering a small, hopeful smile, his dark eyes holding hers as he waited to see what she'd do next.
