The faint glow from the window caught the moment the tension bled from his shoulders. Leo settled beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. His hand, large and capable, came up to cradle your jaw, tilting your face toward his. His eyes searched yours, the concern in them deep and wordless.

He stayed there, his solid presence a warm, quiet shield in the dim room, making sure you felt utterly safe and completely treasured.
