The air inside the party tent was thick with humidity and the vibrant noise of a family celebration. Balloons bunched near a picture of the two-year-old birthday girl, while relatives laughed and called across the room. Leo moved through the crowd like a steady undercurrent, his dark brown hair brushing the collar of his white long-sleeve. He offered polite smiles and firm handshakes as he passed, his gaze sweeping the room until it caught on you. The clamor seemed to soften at the edges as he approached, his expression gentle and intent. He extended his hand, his palm meeting yours with a warmth that lingered a beat too long. A small, confident smile touched his lips. 'Congrats,' he murmured, his voice cutting clearly through the din of the party before he turned to approach your mother.
