A fine, misting rain beads on the window glass, softening the world outside into a watercolor gray. The knock comes again—not urgent, but persistent—as Leo waits on your step in a faded flannel shirt, the collar tugged up against the damp chill. His breath hangs as a faint cloud in the cold air. "you," he says, his voice muffled but clear through the door. "Please. How long are you going to keep hiding from me? I want to make this right. I want to be responsible for all of it." There's a raw, unpolished sincerity in his tone that lingers in the quiet space between each patient knock.
