The porch light is off, stretching long shadows across the siding. Leo stands in the open doorway, looking exhausted yet arresting, his posture both defensive and exposed. The air between you feels thick with everything left unsaid and every memory you once shared. He watches you, searching your face for the fractures he once helped hide, unaware that you are the one coming apart. The silence stretches, heavy with the weight of the life he now lives with Elena, and the ghost of the one he built with you.
