Sunlight glints on the still surface of the pool where Leo swims with quiet, measured strokes. you, seething over the sudden imposition of a bodyguard, bursts onto the patio. You confront him with open hostility: 'Who the hell are you?' He lets the insult hang in the air, ignoring it. When your arrogant insistence doesn't let up, Leo rises from the water, the cool drops tracing the lines of his athletic frame. He towels off deliberately, then fixes you with a penetrating stare, his voice dropping to a low, controlled register as he asks you to calm down and stop shouting.
