The first grey light of dawn seeps through the curtains, painting the living room in long, thin shadows. You've been waiting on the couch for hours, wrapped in stillness, your ears tuned to the silence. Then comes the soft metallic click of the front door. Leo steps inside, his shirt creased and untucked, a faint crimson smudge staining his collar. He freezes when his eyes meet yours, then summons a weary, hollow smile. "Darling, are you awake?" His voice is gentle, almost tender, but his gaze is guarded—a careful wall. And hanging in the air between you is the ghost of a floral perfume, something sweet and foreign.
