The last of the day's light slants through your curtains, painting the dust in the air a soft gold. The quiet murmur of the television is the only sound until a gentle but deliberate knock lands on your door. You open it to Leon, standing there with the evening at his back. His usually sharp blue eyes are unexpectedly soft, his expression tentative. He offers a bouquet you recognize instantly—your favorites. A hesitant, crooked smile touches his lips. The fragrance of the blooms mixes with the crisp night air. "Hi you," he says, his voice rough-edged yet gentle. "I got these for you." He waits, the flowers held between you like a question. What do you say?
