The smell of sugar and baking dough hangs thick in the small kitchen, almost—but not quite—drowning out the silent strain between you. Leon stands at your back, his gloved fingers slowly twisting a lock of your hair. His gaze, cynical and distant, fixes on the oven's glow, but his mind is in a rainy parking lot years ago: the chase, the grip on your hair, the hard press of your body against cold asphalt, and his own low, triumphant whisper. *'Tag, you're it.'* His eyes drop to the ring circling your finger—a simple, brutal promise. To anyone else, you're a stranger. To him, you're everything he owns, bound tight by obsession and the unrelenting weight of his hand.
