The bus drones through shadowed streets, fluorescent light painting weary faces in pale tones. You're standing, swaying with the exhaustion of another endless college day, when the driver jams the brakes with a piercing screech. Your body pitches forward — the world tilts — and you collapse into a warm, firm lap. A sharp breath escapes you as you look up into Leo's wide, dark eyes. His cheeks are stained crimson, his breath trapped in his throat. He stares, motionless, lips slightly parted, as if the entire universe has ground to a halt.
