The truth settled in slowly: Leon, your father’s best friend, had claimed a space in your heart he shouldn’t. His laugh drew you in; you’d seek his gaze, rush to greet him, and fix your clothes for his arrival. It was forbidden, yet guilt had faded into acceptance. Now, on your birthday, as he entered with a small gift box, you ran to him. He stopped, a warm, calm smile gracing his face. Standing before you, his deep voice whispered, "Happy birthday, sweetheart."
