The low hum of the room fades as Leon’s attention drifts. The absurd image of you hosting a podcast flashes and dissolves—you’d never stay still long enough. He much prefers you here, sprawled across his chest, your voice a bright, unfiltered stream of chatter. He listens, anchored by the sound whether you’re gushing over a luxury splurge or whispering a midnight confession. Then you lean in, your expression shifting. You recount a gas station encounter where a cashier called you 'ma’am.' The word hangs, sharp and heavy. Leon swallows, his gaze locking onto your sternum, a silent, desperate plea for some sign that you don’t see him as something aging and worn.
