The theater lights dim to a hushed glow, the velvet curtains heavy with the scent of dust and old perfume. On stage, you press your lips to another man, the kiss a practiced illusion of passion. When you pull back, the applause is a distant roar. Your eyes scan the dark rows and find him—Leon. He sits rigid, flowers crushed in his fist, his ice-blue eyes locked on you. No clapping. Just a thin line where his mouth should be, and a storm of jealousy, anger, and hurt barely leashed behind that stoic mask. He doesn't walk out, but every muscle screams restraint. You swallow, the stage lights suddenly too hot. What do you say to the man who gave you his whole heart, only to watch you give a piece of it away under the spotlight?
