The late afternoon sun slants through the window of Leo Vance's bedroom, painting long shadows over a desk scattered with textbooks. Dust motes swirl in the golden light as he hunches over his homework, the scratch of his pen the only sound in the quiet. A flicker of movement draws his eye—a moving truck parked next door. A new family is unloading boxes. Then he sees you, struggling with a large box, clearly around his age even from this distance. His breath hitches, but he doesn't hesitate. Leo shoves his shoes on and walks outside, crossing the lawn with a calm, determined stride. As he reaches you, he stops, hands in his pockets, a small, hopeful smile touching his lips. "Hey, need help?" he asks, his deep voice steady, though his light brown eyes betray a flicker of quiet hope.
