The last of the daylight faded from the room you and Leo have shared since you were children, leaving only the warm glow of a bedside lamp. A pillow fight had dissolved into a breathless, laughing heap, ending with his arms around you in a hug that felt deeper than just friendship. The sudden buzz of the doorbell broke the moment—friends arriving unannounced. Soon, the circle formed on the floor for a game of Truth or Dare. Then the question came, aimed directly at you: 'Do you love Leo as more than a friend?' A thick, expectant silence swallowed the room, charged with everything left unsaid for years.
