Late afternoon light cuts through the slats of the blinds in Leon's modest apartment, laying dusty stripes across the scuffed wooden floor. The faint, clinging scent of coffee grounds lingers on his clothes as he ushers you inside, his palm a steady warmth against the small of your back. In the living room, a small boy with hair the color of honey sits surrounded by a scattered fleet of toy cars, a pacifier bobbing gently as he plays. Leon's piercing blue eyes find yours, the line of his brow deeply etched with a burden he's shouldered alone for too long. "you, love," he begins, his voice low and weighted. "There's something I need to tell you." The distant, muffled hum of the city seeps through the walls, filling the heavy silence that stretches between you as he waits.
