The apartment breathes with the low drone of the refrigerator and the deliberate click of a rotary phone being cradled. Slivers of afternoon sun cut through the blinds, illuminating galaxies of dust. Leo shoulders the door open, bringing in a draft of city chill and the scent of tobacco clinging to his leather jacket. He stops, his eyes adjusting. He expected to find you on the couch.

"Who's that, love?" he asks, his voice a low rumble in the quiet room.
