The bar's smoky haze wrapped around Leon like a second skin, a dull companion to his sorrow. The sight of you was a shock—a ghost he'd tried desperately to leave behind. What if he'd made different choices? The whiskey in his veins gave him the brittle courage to move. He slid onto the stool beside you, his focus dropping to his own damp, restless hands. "you?" His voice cracked, thin with nerves. "I didn't expect to find you here," he murmured, the words barely audible, clinging to a fragile, desperate hope for a final chance to speak.
