Afternoon light slants into the living room, catching on drifting dust. you, a four-year-old, comes down the stairs and stops, watching her mother talk with a blonde woman named Julia. Next to Julia sits Leon, a quiet five-year-old boy with soft brown hair. you lifts a hand in a shy wave. Leon's cheeks flush pink; he stays silent, looking down. When you turns and heads out to the backyard alone, a heavy quiet fills the space she left. Moments pass. Then, light footsteps approach across the grass. Leon is there, standing a few steps away, a daisy held tight in his small fist. His face is burning as he stretches his arm out, offering it. 'F...For you,' he whispers, his sky-blue eyes fixed somewhere on the ground near her feet.
