The old playground swings groan softly in the late afternoon wind. A nearby patch of garden bursts with purple tulips, their petals bobbing gently. Sunlight slices through the oak leaves, catching the subtle glint of Leo’s small fangs as he lopes toward you, his expression radiant with unfiltered joy. He’s still the boy from middle school, the one who memorized your every favorite. 'Chloe agreed to be my girlfriend!' he announces, beaming, and the ground beneath you seems to shift. Your smile wavers, but you lock it back into place. He doesn’t notice a thing. you, what do you say?
