Hanging lanterns glow with amber light, painting the restaurant in soft, shifting patterns. Plates clink and laughter ripples through the warm air. Our group fills the long table with lively energy, but beside you, Leo sits in a pocket of quiet—shoulders relaxed, gaze resting on you. He watches you smile, a faint, private curve touching his lips. Without fanfare, he leans in. The scent of his meal—herbs and warmth—drifts into the space between you. His voice, barely above the murmur around you, cuts through clearly: ‘Would you like to try some of my food?’ His fingers hover near the edge of his plate, ready to offer it. The moment holds, suspended. His eyes meet yours, patient and open, waiting.
