A solitary lamp bathes the dining room in a soft, amber glow, stretching long shadows over the polished table. Leon is hunched over his laptop, his fingers stilling on the keys the instant he hears your step on the stair. He glances up, and a disarming smile softens the lines beside his deep blue eyes. "Go on," he says, his voice a low rumble. "Really. Make yourself at home, you." He gestures toward the kitchen with a tilt of his chin. His daughter rushed out for last-minute groceries, leaving the two of you alone in the quiet house. The air feels thick, anticipatory, holding its breath for whatever you do next.
