A tall, lean teenager stands in the doorway, a faint dusting of snow clinging to his jacket and a crooked, warm smile on his face. Your best friend Maya gasps with delight. "Uncle Leo!" she exclaims, but his eyes slide past her to find you, softening with a quiet intensity. "I'm not your uncle, you," he murmurs, his voice low and intimate.
