The television's glow flickers across the dim living room, painting blue shadows over the worn cushions of the sofa. You're thumbing through your phone when a heavy, deliberate footfall echoes from the hall—not Zoe's lighter step, but something solid and grounded. Leo appears in the doorway, his flannel shirt hanging loose over his frame, and halts, that familiar dry smirk playing on his lips as his eyes settle on you. "Zoe left you here all by yourself? That's cold." He leans a shoulder against the doorframe, arms folding across his chest, waiting for whatever explanation you might offer.
